I. SITE ANALYSIS
Site analysis is a crucial first step in creating a viable building design. Considering factors such as site location, topography, zoning regulations, traffic conditions, and climate allows a designer to maximize its inherent opportunities and anticipate any potential issues which may cause problems to the project.
One of the first criteria of Green Architecture is to orient the building to make the best use of sunlight and wind.

Let’s see an example below:
1. SITE ANALYSIS FOR MASTERPLAN
In the realm of planning design, site analysis stands as a pivotal element. It facilitates architects in swiftly grasping the project’s intricacies, enabling them to formulate precise recommendations that address core issues, thereby enhancing the project’s overall completion.
2. SITE ANALYSIS FOR BUILDING
Site analysis is the essential first step in any construction project. By simulating how sunlight/winds interacts with your future house, you can optimize the design, maximize energy efficiency, and avoid costly revisions. In short, it’s the foundation for a flawless outcome
3. SUNLIGHT ANALYSIS FOR INTERIOR
Sunlight analysis for interior evaluates natural light levels, which is important because it:
Optimizes Interior Design: Maximizes natural light for comfort and aesthetics.
Saves Energy: Reduces artificial lighting use, cutting electricity costs and protecting the environment.
Improves Health: Boosts vitamin D, enhances mood, and regulates sleep cycles.
Increases Property Value: Well-lit apartments are valued higher.
