Abstract
In consideration of the minimum expected level of sunshine, which was set in the previous paper (Part I), this paper investigates site planning of detached houses. At first, several different types of houses were selected. Then areas of sites, which were needed to satisfy the expected sunshine levels, were calculated according to several various conditions i.e. : degrees of latitude of 32 degrees, 35 degrees and 38 degrees, respectively, a turning angle of 0, 10, 20 and 30 degrees from south, two kinds of street layouts (south-north and east-west), with and without garages. It was not found that one house type is always better than others. As conditions vary, the most favorable house type changes. Accordingly, during the planning of detached houses, we must take various conditions into account in order to produce good housing, with optimum solar conditions.
