TECHNOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENT 2: SEMESTER 1 : ENVIRONMENT AND ECOLOGY WEEK 2: MICROCLIMATE MODIFICATION WELCOME! TECHNOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENT 2: SEMESTER 1 : ENVIRONMENT AND ECOLOGY SEMESTER 2 : BUILDING TECHNOLOGY WEEK 2: MICROCLIMATE TUTORIAL TECHNOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENT 2: SEMESTER 1 : ENVIRONMENT AND ECOLOGY WEEK 2: MICROCLIMATE MODIFICATION TUTORIAL: 27 SEPTEMBER MICROCLIMATE ANALYSIS: GEORGE SQUARE GARDENS TECHNOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENT 2: SEMESTER 1 : ENVIRONMENT AND ECOLOGY WEEK 2: MICROCLIMATE MODIFICATION TECHNOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENT 2: SEMESTER 1 : ENVIRONMENT AND ECOLOGY WEEK 2: MICROCLIMATE MODIFICATION Edinburgh Wind Rose Speeds taken at 10 m above ground Source: Bureau Happold TECHNOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENT 2: SEMESTER 1 : ENVIRONMENT AND ECOLOGY WEEK 2: MICROCLIMATE MODIFICATION Edinburgh Seasonal Wind Data Note: Wind speed increases with height, so note the height at which wind data is taken. Airport data is generally taken at 6-10 meters above ground.

The sun path diagram can be used to determine the sun s position in terms of altitude and azimuth for any hour of the year. Altitude (section): The angle between the sun and the earth. Azimuth (plan): The bearing angle of the sun. You must know both in order to draw the shadow cast by an object.
