Is the tall building facing north very bad? What are its shortcomings?

The house facing the northwest in high-rise buildings is a bad orientation, only a little better than the pure north, because most rooms have no sunshine, and the room that can see sunshine will only have afternoon sunshine, but there is evening sunshine.

For most people, especially northerners, the house facing south is the most ideal. Because the houses in the north-south direction are adapted to the climate characteristics in the north.

First of all, the houses in the north-south direction can keep enough sunshine, so that the sunlight can shine deep inside the houses in winter and summer.

Secondly, the house can maintain good ventilation and ensure the freshness and dryness of the room.

Except due south, the order of other directions is roughly southeast, east, southwest, north and west. Generally speaking, it is enough to receive 2~3 hours of sunlight indoors a day. An hour or two of sunshine time helps to eliminate indoor moisture, kill bacteria and accelerate air flow.
