What are western photos? Can you tell me in detail why there are pictures of the west in a building?

Western exposure, that is, western exposure, refers to a harmful phenomenon caused by improper geographical location selection of buildings. The reason for facing west is due to the limitation of terrain or considering the overall planning and layout of the community. Many houses are east-west, which makes some rooms in the building face west.

The choice of building orientation should meet the requirements of more sunshine in winter and avoiding too much radiation in summer. According to the geographical location of our country, buildings facing south and its adjacent direction can meet this condition. However, due to the limitation of terrain, some rooms will be exposed to the west.

The solution to the problem of sun exposure is to use curtains with shading screens. This method can prevent the entry of sunlight heat to a considerable extent, but the disadvantage is that there is no natural light indoors at all.

Extended data

The harm of western photos:

1. The intense west facing in summer will make the temperature of the west facing room rise a lot. The huge heat released by sunlight through the glass exposed to the room will lead to huge energy consumption of air conditioning operation and increase the electricity bill.

2. Every house facing the sun in the west is not ventilated and the wind does not enter the house in summer. In winter, the northwest wind blows, and even if the windows are closed, the wind will get into the house.

3. The indoor temperature of Xiyang Light Room is 2-3℃ higher than other rooms in summer.
