Which window would give the best solar gain in winter? One facing north, south, east, or west? Why?
What will be an ideal response?
In general, south-facing windows capture the most solar energy at any time of
year. A window that allows sunlight through when the Sun is lower in the sky and does not
let it through when the Sun is high in the sky keeps the solar energy out during summer and
allows it in during winter.
