SUN PATH
Taman Botani Negara Shah Alam is located in Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia.
As Malaysia is located near the equator, it allows for the location to receive more sunshine.
Being close to the equator, the sun path or position does not shift much throughout the year.
On the average, Malaysia receives about 10 hours of sunshine per day. However, seasonal variations may influence
the amount of sunshine received.

SUN ORIENTATION
Knowing the sun path and orientation of the site is vital to the design of the pavilion in order to control the
direction and amount of sunlight entering the space.
The site receives sunlight at around 7.13 a.m. (annual average).

During the
early months
of the year,
the sun rises
above the
equator
nearer to the
southern
hemisphere.

During the
mid months
of the year,
the sun
rises above
the equator
nearer to
the northern
hemisphere
.

The chart above shows the annual average temperature recorded for Shah Alam, Selangor.

During the site visit, the temperature recorded was around 34°C.
The entire trail is directly exposed to sunlight as the trees are too short and sparse to provide shade.
Some areas which are sheltered from direct sunlight.

Shaded
Relatively high tree density
allowing for efficient
shading from direct
sunlight.
Semi-Shaded
Relatively low tree density
giving less shade to the
highlighted areas.
Exposed
Few to no trees leaving the
areas extremely vulnerable
to direct sunlight and heat

DIRECTION: Southwest
WIND SPEED (APRIL-SEPT): 1-12 km/h
Strong wind can be felt throughout the entire trail as a
result of the clear path the trail provides.
SELANGOR, SHAH ALAM
SELANGOR, SHAH ALAM

DIRECTION: North-East
WIND SPEED (OCT-MAR): 1-12 km/h
The site is not affected by this wind as it is surrounded
with trees. Hence, most of the breeze comes from the
south-west direction.SELANGOR, SHAH ALAM

The chart above shows the annual average precipitation and rainfall days
recorded for Shah Alam, Selangor.

ANALYSIS
The average annual amount of precipitation has been recorded at around 8.3 inches. The most amount of precipitation
occur during the last quarter of the year, with the highest amount of precipitation, 11 inches, in both October and
November respectively. The least amount of precipitation is observed during the middle of the year, with the amount
of 5 inches of precipitation in the month of June.
Throughout the year, rain or drizzle falling is expected on average of about 18 days of the month. The most days of
rainfall occur during the last quarter of the year, with 25 days of rainfall in the month of November. The least days of
rainfall is recorded in the month of February, with only 14 days.

The chart above shows the average Humidity in Shah Alam in the year 2015 and 2016

ANALYSIS
Malaysia has high humidity.The mean monthly relative humidity falls within 70 to 90%, varying from place to place and
from month to month. For any specific area, the range of the mean monthly relative humidity varies from a minimum of
3% to a maximum of about 15%.
In Shah Alam, the minimum range of mean relative humidity varies from a low 77% in February to a high of only 87% in
November. It is observed that in Shah Alam, the minimum relative humidity is normally found in the months of January
and February.The maximum is however generally found in the month of November.

1
2 3
3. Lake Zone
The bodies of water cool the local atmosphere
during April-Sept as the wind blows from the
direction of South-West
During hot times of still air,
the bodies of water add to the humidity and
heat in the atmosphere
2. Tropical Fruit Zone
Area is sloped
Direction of the slope faces the west -
More exposure to the evening sun which is
relatively cooler than the morning sun
1. Cactus Zone
The lower density of trees and grass
provide relatively less shade and moisture
to the surroundings - hotter atmosphere
Zones 1 & 2
The retaining wall of zone 1, concrete stairs of zone 2, along with the brick pavement and asphalt road
found in both - absorb the sun’s heat and reradiate it to the ambient air causing the zones to be
relatively hotter compared to zone 3

STRENGTHS:
Natural lighting is abundant as the sun path does not shift position throughout the year.
Some areas are sheltered with small trees to provide shade in the heat of the weather.
Strong wind can be felt throughout the site (from South-West region) as it is naturally ventilated.
Rain showers and drizzle occurs often hence the humidity level maintains above 80%. Water vapour traps heat, the earth’s
surface is cooled during evaporation.

WEAKNESSES:
The temperature of the site for most part of the day is high due to the low density of trees
The site experiences high humidity as it is located near water bound and near the equator, therefore the site is warm
throughout the day.
Home to countless insects (namely mosquitoes) which causes discomfort.

OPPORTUNITIES:
Opportunity-Strengths (OS)
1. Some areas within site boundary are sheltered from the sun by smaller trees
- natural shelter as an advantage
- allow for nature-integrated pavilion design
2. Area within site boundary receives great amount of wind flow
- gives an opportunity for well ventilated design
Opportunity-Weaknesses (OW)
1. Most area within site boundary are exposed to direct sunlight, thus making the site receive maximum amount of sun
- creates opportunity to provide much needed shelter for users/visitors allow for interesting pavilion design that plays
with natural lighting

THREATS:
1. Most of the area receives natural and direct sunlight during the day
without a great amount of shade provided by the surrounding trees:
- May cause discomfort to the eyes and skin
- Pavilion would require appropriate roofing (options in design become more restricted)
2. Mosquitoes are not uncommon in the area:
- Pavilion would require to be sealed off with walls/doors
- Pavilion cannot be stayed in for too long if pavilion is open-aired
(options in design become more restricted)
