he orientation of a flat or house refers to the direction in which the main entrance, living areas, and key rooms of the property face, in relation to the cardinal directions—North, South, East, and West. This is an essential factor in real estate, architecture, and Vastu/Feng Shui practices, as it influences natural light, ventilation, energy efficiency, and even the mental and physical well-being of the occupants.
Natural Light & Ventilation: A well-oriented home ensures maximum use of natural daylight, reducing dependence on artificial lighting. For instance, east-facing homes receive abundant morning sunlight, while west-facing ones enjoy evening light.
Energy Efficiency: Proper orientation can help maintain indoor temperature naturally. South-facing homes in colder climates get more sunlight, helping in warmth and energy savings.
Comfort and Lifestyle: The direction of balconies, windows, and open spaces affects how comfortable the home feels throughout the day. A home that stays cool during hot afternoons or warm during winter mornings is generally more pleasant to live in.
Cultural and Traditional Beliefs: In Vastu Shastra and Feng Shui, orientation is a crucial aspect for ensuring positive energy flow. For example, Vastu recommends an east or north-facing entrance for prosperity and harmony.
