  • Amount of glass / window areas (eg: Window furnishings.)
  • Direct or shaded window (eg: size/ directional/ glazing/tinting)
  • Flooring type (eg: tiled/ carpeted/ timber flooring)
  • Ceiling (heights/ decorative ceiling)

  • Internal appliance factors (eg: ovens/ dryers/ computers etc)
  • External Foliage/ tree lines/ shading etc.
  • Location of furnishings/ fittings
