Nearby there are two tire stores. The buildings are similar, with several big doors which are left open whenever the weather is not ridiculous. One faces east, the other west. The west facing store gets wind, rain, dust and lots of afternoon sunlight (just the thing in a heat wave). Not sure what architects are taught but orientation may not get enough encouragement.
We rarely get any chance to consider shop orientation but if we do, it can make a big difference.
Now I'm going to go sit in my east facing garage and watch the rain.
