ANALYSIS RESULTSThe result analyzed in this study is based on the data for a specific date, since datamonitoring has been performed from the beginning of September to current time.Data monitored under a clear sky day in October are discussed in this paper.3.1 Sun and outdoor propertiesSolar altitude and azimuth for the site, where the building is located, wasdetermined for each one minute using theoretical calculation procedures. Thevariation of altitude during the monitored day is shown in Figure 3.The altitude started to increase as the sun rises and it reached the highest value of45.61 o at solar noon. The altitude in afternoon was symmetrical to that in morning.The altitude has the maximum value at the solar noon of summer solstice, which is76.14 o in the site used in this study.Since the date selected in this analysis was October 9 th , the maximum altitude waslower than the maximum altitude by 30.54 o . The solar azimuth varied from -79.60 oto 79.60 o for the data monitoring date.541
