What does the north-south direction of the house mean?

Generally speaking, the orientation of a house is judged by the windows of the living room and the master bedroom. For example, the window of the living room faces west and the window of the master bedroom faces south, so it is southwest, and so are other directions.

The best latitude and longitude in China is the south, because the south can get the sun every day, the east can only get the sun before 12 in the morning, and the west can only get the sun after 2 pm. In the north, the sun hardly shines or the distance is very small.

Extended data

1. Living room: South is the best direction, warm in winter and cool in summer. The living room is the room with the highest utilization rate and the largest number of users in a house, so we should pay more attention to ventilation. If it is an east-west living room, the owners of low floors must pay more attention to the spacing between adjacent buildings.

2. Bedroom: facing east, the sunshine is mainly concentrated in the morning, and the lighting in the house is better in the early morning. If the bedroom faces east, people who like to sleep late should pay attention; Facing the west, the sunshine is mainly concentrated in the afternoon, especially in summer, so there is a problem of sunbathing in the west. It may cost more electricity to use air conditioning in summer, but it is still warmer in winter.

3. Bathroom: facing west is a good choice, because the bathroom is usually humid, and the sun is stronger when facing west, so the bathroom will be dry. The disadvantage is that the southeast wind is dominant in summer, and the ventilation in the west is not very good, so many people prefer the east direction with good ventilation. In some places with more rain in the south, the southeast wind blows in the rainy season, and the doors and windows facing east are more likely to get water.

4. Kitchen: Avoid choosing due north. Because the kitchen will produce a lot of oil smoke, the north wind will blow the oil smoke back.

5. Others: Due to the differences in latitude and topography, the suitable orientation varies from place to place. Specifically, it is also influenced by the surrounding environment of the house. For example, if there is shelter in the west, it will be much better to bask in the sun in the west.
