We dive deep and investigate the four rules of thumb commonly used in early-stage design. In our investigation, we highlight the potentially misleading pitfalls and explain ways you can steer towards optimised, high-performing designs. These rules of thumb include:
Building Orientation
Shading Depth
Glazing Ratios
