Hi everybody!
I would like to ask one thing about building and orientation at Abetenim.
Which is the best orientation for the building, related to climate? To have a better comfort and not to overheat the house.
Thanks! Viviana

Ashanti Region of Ghana falls within the warm-humid climatic
zone. Air temperatures remain moderately high, between 21
and 32 degrees C, with little variation between day and night.
Traditionally, earth-walled courtyard houses are typical with
broad overhanging eaves to shade the exterior walls. Pitched
roofs covered with corrugated metallic sheets are common in
the warm-humid climates of Ghana. Windows are large and
fully openable. Fixed windows are not climatically preferable
in the warm-humid climates.
