The document discusses how sun path diagrams can be used to analyze sunlight and shadows at a building site. Sun path diagrams show the path of the sun across the sky throughout the year and can indicate periods when shading will occur. Analyzing sunlight is important for architecture as it helps determine building orientation, solar gain, and locations that will maximize sunlight while minimizing shadows from surrounding structures and vegetation.

Sunmitted to-Asif Turza ID-213-42-039 Level-2, Term-2 Sun Path diagram Sun path diagrams can tell you a lot about how the sun will impact your site and building throughout the year. Stereographic sun path diagrams can be used to read the solar azimuth and altitude for a given location. Sun path diagrams work To keep it simple, the diagram shows your site (where your building will be) and the surrounding buildings and the way in which the sun moves across this area. For example, if your building is North facing, you can design according to the different lights that it will get. Use of sun path
The sun path diagram is often very useful
in determining the period of the year and hours of day when shading will take place at a particular location.

Important of Sun Analysis in Architecture
They can help establish the position of the sun
relative to a site and can be used to determine the effect of shadows cast by buildings, trees and landforms on and around the site. The analysis considers shading by adjacent objects such as vegetation and surrounding buildings. Although not intended for sizing photovoltaic panels, solar analysis can help identify locations for maximizing solar gain by considering shading effects and seasonal variations in solar radiation.
