- Understanding and being able to read sun paths is a crucial part of an architectural site analysis and can massively inform your designs. In this video I'll be showing you how to create and read Sun-Path diagrams for your site!

Please Note: Altitude Angle is 32 not 28!!
I'm confused on how it would be 32? I understand it being 28
@@_soiled its hard to see but the line that corresponds to 30 is just below the pink line, if you look at 10 you will see its below the number
Came here after not understanding at sun track diagrams in environmental science course, much clearer on them now, thanks so much!
Love comments like this1 I'm glad it helped ( :
Your video was really helpful!! I can’t wait to watch more of your content!! Thank you so much for helping me understand the sun path because it sure is confusing, but you sure made it simple and fun!
Thank You, I love these comments! I'm so glad it helped
Short and efficient video. Thanks for the info!
I came to understand my homework, I stayed because I was amazed at how easy it looks to use photoshop 😂 it would have taken me longer to do that circle in medibang
haha glad you enjoyed it!
You might find it fascinating to know that this exact process was used for desert navigation during WWII using just the sun. If you look up a Cole or Abrams sun compass you will see the hyperbola lines printed on them. If you have accurate timekeeping you can navigate very easily without any power or technology. Knowing the sun's path was absolutely crucial to making it work. The Long Range Desert Group guys navigated thousands of miles across the Sahara using only sun compasses (usually a Bagnold type but the Cole/Abrams compasses work very well too!). Cheers!
I didn't know any of that that's awesome, cheers for sharing!
The video is cool,,it's very clear and straight forward-thanks again
No problem ( : glad you liked it!
This is a really useful intro. Thanks!
no problem!
This video was FANTASTIC!! I'll be sure to commend you when I pass my arch final this semester :D
Glad it was help, and awesome look forward to it haha
NASA trying to figure out how to land on the sun like bruh u just gotta land on it at night
Clear explanations. Super helpful, looking forward to seeing more content
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. That helps a lot.
No Problem!
This was very well explained. Thank you!
No worries
very helpful thank you so much!
Im glad no worries!
I have found this video extremely helpful thanks you very much.
no worries glad it helped!
Thank you very much this is super helpful
No problem, I'm glad ( :
Dear Imran
Now that you've shown us how to find the angles of the sun, please show us how they impact a design and how we can take advantage of that. You are a life saver.
This is actually my most recent video you should see it on my channel page

@@ArchwImran with the angle we find from the diagram, is it an elevation angle
@@johnjohn5628 we find both the elevation angle and rotational angle using this diagram
Do you have a video about how to use autocad to create contour models and how you can link your files to a laser cutter or 3d printer?
it's cool!! thank you!
THANK YOU SO MUCH , ITS REALLY HELPFUL👍👍👍👍
No problem! Glad it is ( :
Great video. Thanks
No problem!
Amazing video!
Thank you!
this was just amazing
Great to hear ( :
great info, but could you please explain more on how such information could be employed in our designs?
Sure I'll try film a follow up soon
your voice is so relaxing
Thank you haha ( :
Question: how do you apply the information from the sun path to the architecture? say, where do i put more roof eaves, or vertical slatted shading or horizontal shading, etc. and how does the sun path diagram influence the sizes of these features if say i would appply them?
Thanks for this video it is really helpful and concise!
Ill be recording again soon and that will be one of my first videos just bear with!
@@ArchwImran yay! thanks!
Nice one bro 💯
thanks!
Hi Imran. Thanks for the great video. However, I'm still confused with my question. How do you answer this: Based on your presented diagram - for which month the direct sunlight in the mornings and evenings will be the most?
So summer equinox is june 21st (in the uk) and this will be the day with the most sun in the year and this will be the highest point on the graph, then the days before and after this day will slowly decrease/increase towards it.
so wherever in the world you wan to know, google the summer equinox in that place and it will be the the longest sunlight and the month before and after will also be long.
Thanks
No problem!
how the sun path can help to implement green solar roofs, please???
So using the graph you can asses the areas on your site that receive sun (based on surrounding buildings) and the angle that will get the most sun (normally lunch) so you will have your Solars facing that direction to maximise sun on them
Which University did you go to, that is if you wanted to go to one, and how was you're experience?
Portsmouth was my top choice and I'm currently here, overalls good experience just a lot of work
Great video, very informative and helpful. Thanks a lot!! 😁😁
But a humble suggestion or a request to you... if possible please avoid the BGM while the explanation is going on. Just a suggestion. 😊😊 Otherwise everything is really great! 😊
No worries, glad it was helpful. And I'll make a note of that thanks
can you talk about building orientaion with respect to the study of sun
I do actually have another video where I touch on it a little bit

I didn’t understand how u r calculating altitude atlast is 28deg?
Its the outline circle. First, find the right date and time draw a dot, then draw a line from the centre through it to the outside circle. where it crosses is the altitude angle (units are written on the circle)
I thought it would be 31 or 32 deg (?) @@ArchwImran
@@irmadesirahmawati487 You know what having looked at this again you're completely correct! My apologies, Its a good thing to note I guess, to remember the axis.
Thanks nerd
Why’d he draw down for the azimuth angle
What do you mean sorry?
@@ArchwImran typo I meant “what did he” but I rewatched and understood, thank you!
@@coolpersonawilliams2841 no worries ( :
bro I'm fcked up😥 its 3 hours before mids and I cant understand anything
mate i feel you, hope it went alright. If theres anything specific you don't get let me know I'll see if i can do a video on it.
