all-important. Owners might want to look out on something especially wonderful, “A majestic tree, a prized bed of flowers, a clearing where the deer congregate.”

Obviously, climate plays a major role in the decision how to position the conservatory.

A southern exposure is best for capturing the most daylight, but it may be too hot in warm regions. Additional cooling might be needed, and that could be costly. An eastern exposure will ease cooling needs by providing sun in the morning and shade the rest of the day, hardly a good idea for anybody, who wants to retreat to the conservatory for after-work enjoyment.

Western exposure, on the other hand, will bring in harsh afternoon sun that will need to be shaded. A northern exposure will provide low levels of light and partial shade most of the day. In Northern states, this might cause a room to be too cool and damp, but it would be a good idea for the South. Siting a conservatory on an east-west axis in cool regions will provide the benefits of passive solar heating. Throughout the day, it will collect heat, which will then be released during cooler evening hours.
