SUN exposure
a. Singapore located along the equator, nearest to sun on earth. Therefore, higher sun exposure compares to other parts of the world. b. West sun (afternoon/ evening sun) carries more UVB, which is detrimental to health and building materials. c. North and South facing will be exposed to west sun too. This is due to earth rotation at its axis at 23.5 degrees and orbiting the sun whole year round. d. Sun shades are mainly to reduce direct sunlight through high transmission surface like glass. Low transmission surface like concrete wall will receive the same amount of sunlight (which carries heat via infrared). e. Singapore has high relative humidity (moisture content) at a monthly mean of 72% to 90% (1982-2020). The comfort level for human is at 50%. Prevailing WIND a. Enhance micro climate due to localized heat island impact. It helps to lower surrounding/ local temperature. b. Assist in air change between external and internal spaces. Clearing internal space from detrimental particles/ microbes. c. Main source of natural/ passive ventilation. d. Reduces long term energy consumption for cooling. It can replace active cooling using mechanical ventilation which consumes energy and contribute to global warming. e. Reduce internal moisture level (relative humidity), reduce mold growth. VIEWING angle/quality a. Defined by wide angle or narrow angle view. The former is preferred for better awareness of the immediate surrounding. b. Defined claustrophobic space. The narrow view angle will translate to small and enclosed space and potentially high volume will contribute to claustrophobic scenario. c. Emotional needs. Seeing things in entirety is usually preferred than seeing things partially. d. Visual health. Dark spaces induced visual impairments. Seeing things in the dark will increase eyesight stress. e. Mental health. Prolong exposure to constrain and dimly lit space may lead to suicidal thoughts. NOISE disturbance a. Mental health. Stress due to prolong noise disturbance exposure. b. Hearing loss. Hearing impairment due to prolong exposure to high noise frequency (>80dB). c. Disrupt resting time. d. Disrupts daily routine. Building DISTANCE a. Determine the privacy of homeowners. b. Determine if a space is claustrophobic. c. Affects the viewing potential. d. Determine amount of morning sun exposure. e. Determine the west sun exposure. f. Buffer for noise disturbance. g. Affect the prevailing/ local wind circulation. |

"Totally agree with you that housing is one of the most expensive investment, we need to know what we are buying. Even buying a $300 thing some of us research for weeks on which is the best brand etc what more a $300k house? ”

"Unit is very cooling and breezy even before we got fans installed. The view from our windows also better than expected, can see the MSCP roof garden right outside our window, like our personal garden hahaha!
Our visitors have been praising our home, eg wide spacing to the next block, very breezy and nice view. Thank you for helping us select such a wonderful unit for us to call home :)
