- •
Urban layout is a key parameter in modifying solar availability in real urban forms.
- •
Solar availability on ground and façades is affected by different layout parameters.
- •
Urban layout and solar availability relationship varies with solar altitude angles.
- •
Urban forms were found with higher mean irradiance in January and lower in July.
- •
Seasonal effect on solar availability is found much more pronounced for ground.
