In real estate and site planning, orientation refers to the placement of a structure on a lot in relation to environmental and surrounding factors. This includes consideration of exposure to the sun’s rays, prevailing winds, street frontage, and nearby sources of noise.
Proper orientation can enhance energy efficiency, comfort, and privacy for occupants. By accounting for natural light, ventilation, and external influences, orientation plays an important role in the design, usability, and overall desirability of a property.
