This article highlights that solar orientation is a key, and often forgotten, factor when buying an apartment in Paraguay, as it directly influences thermal comfort and energy consumption for climatization due to the country's tropical climate.
Below is a detailed breakdown of each orientation's behavior:
East: Receives soft morning sun, ideal for bedrooms that stay cool at night.
North: Offers constant and balanced light year-round (warm in winter and cool in summer with good architectural design).
West: It is the hottest and most intense in the afternoon, requiring greater spending on cooling and insulation.
South: It is the coolest option due to having a lot of shade, but it can be cold and humid in winter.
