What you're don't want here is the front of your house heated in the morning where all the windows typically are, then all the back of your house heated in the evening or visa versa. Sides of houses are almost always up against fencing which protect the side windows from direct sunlight.

Actually, have a look at this -

I get what your saying in this post, totally agree.
What's a north/south facing home? windows on both sides or is it a north facing home, and/or a south facing home?

I see it was 18c in perth today. 7c here with rain going sideways. at least I'm sitting inside infront of the fire, eating some humble pie
