An owner has purchased a property for a narrow house in Rapid City, North Dakota. The property has existing coniferous (evergreen) trees. The owner and architect would like to, primarily, minimize convective heat loss due to wind exposure and, secondarily, to allow for passive solar heating, while maintaining the existing trees on site. Given the winter wind rose for the site, where is the best location for the narrow house to achieve these goals?
