2.2.3 Radiation

In tropical climates the solar radiation is never welcome. In these latitudes the main concern respecting the sun is how to avoid both direct and diffuse radiation.
The first step to avoid as much radiation as possible is the oriention. Contrary to other regions where the sun is important for heating purposes mainly in winter, in Acapulco the radiation must be avoided during all the year. In order to do so, the best orientation is North-East.
