Northern light vs. Southern light
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:26:12+00:00It seems there are no advocates for the benefits of light that comes through northern faced windows… and that’s a shame.
The world today focuses it’s admiration on southern facing windows touting the merits of heat gain and the intense amount of light that can be gained from exposure on this side of a house. To even slightly hint negatively against southern windows is considered politically incorrect. But the fact is that the southern heat gain is not desirable during the warmer months of the year and that this direct light is harmful to a home’s fabrics and furnishes.
Yes, the north side of a home is colder… but the light that comes in from this side of the house is the most pleasant to work under, and to be in.
