With these proposed programs

Dozens of scientific studies have
shown conclusively that proper
orientation is on* of the leading
factors In low-cost air conditioning,
both in original cost for equipment
and in season-to-season operating
expense.
When used in conjunction with
thick mineral wool insulation, the
right roof design and material,
carefully ■ selected windows, and
shading in the right places, orien-
tation may be the deciding factor
in whether the home owner can or
can’t afford air conditioning.
Ideal orientation la rkrely pos-
sible because of the contours, sizes,
and shapes of lots, but here are
some general recommendations

for siting and construction. ^
1. ‘ Broad sides of the house
should face north and south.
2. Garage, porch or utility
room should be on the west end
of the house to take the brunt of
the late afternoon sun.
3. The roof should have wide
overhangs to provide shade for
walls and windows, and should be
constructed to permit adequate
