Are there any resources where I can educate myself on this? I bought an apartment in a 28 storey building recently and I was struck with the lack of interest and thought on my questions on natural ventilation and natural lighting. I'm a long way from designing a house but I'd definitely want to educate myself on topics like how do you guess the air flow direction, what direction is the sunlight going to be during what months, what about rain fall, what are good insulators you can use, etc. you get what I'm getting at.
