Woodlands North Verge Sun Analysis
Our recommendations for units with the least afternoon sun exposure
Why Avoiding Afternoon Sun is Crucial
1. Heat Retention
Concrete walls absorb afternoon sun and radiate heat indoors well past midnight.

2. No Easy Fix
Fans, tinting, and curtains help a little but none fully solve it.

3. WFH & Daily Discomfort
Sun-facing rooms make it hard to study or work from home without aircon running all day.
See discussion on Reddit →The good news? You can avoid all of this by checking your unit's sun exposure before you pick your unit.

Woodlands North Verge: Units With the Least Afternoon Sun
Based on our sun analysis, here are our recommendations for units with minimal afternoon sun exposure:
Top 2 Rm Pick: Block 917A Stack #379
Direct afternoon sun is blocked by common corridor and neighbouring units. Receives some gentle and nourishing morning sun in the living and bedroom for half the year.
Top 3 Rm Pick: Block 917B Stack #397
All the 3 room unit stacks in this estate suffer from direct afternoon sun. This stack is preferred as it only receives direct afternoon sun for approximately 7 months of the year, while the other 2 stacks have direct afternoon sunlight all year round.
Top 4 Rm Pick: Block 917B Stack #393
Direct afternoon sun is blocked by lift shaft for this unit stack. Half the year, there will be direct sunlight into service yard, ensuring that clothes can dry nicely.
Top 5 Rm Pick: Block 916A Stack #367
Direct afternoon sun is blocked by common corridor and neighbouring units. Half the year, there will be direct sunlight into service yard, ensuring that clothes dry nicely.

What should I look for when choosing a unit to avoid afternoon sun?
Pick units where bedrooms and living areas face away from the west. The sun path shifts throughout the year, so a per-unit analysis is more reliable than a compass check.
How accurate is the sun analysis?
We use the project's coordinates and actual floorplan data to calculate how sunlight enters each room throughout the year.
Does the analysis consider how deep the sun penetrates into my rooms?
No. Sun depth depends on how surrounding buildings or structures block sunlight, which is difficult to model. The tool gives you a gauge of the direction that the sun enters the unit, not the depth.
Does the analysis factor in surrounding buildings?
We account for adjacent units and corridors within the same block. Other buildings in the development that may block the sun are not modelled due to data limitations.
I've already selected my BTO unit — is this still useful?
Yes. Knowing your sun exposure helps plan renovation, like where to place curtains, your study desk, or whether every room needs aircon.
Why focus specifically on afternoon sun?
Morning sun is mild. Afternoon sun (12pm to 6pm) is far more intense and heats concrete walls that radiate indoors well into the evening.
