Programming for climate

An office building with archive box storage is being designed for Brockton, MA. A low use area such as storage would be best located facing which orientation?

A. North, B. East, C. South, D. West


A. North is correct.
Locating low-use program facing north in colder climates and higher-use areas facing south allows hi-use, active spaces to benefit from south facing glazing to maximize daylighting and solar heat gain in winter.
