# Daylight & Orientation: Khawr Fakkān, UAE > How to research daylight & orientation for a specific site in Khawr Fakkān — the controlling authority, source documents, and checks to run before you rely on a number. - Canonical: https://harth.build/resources/solar-data/daylight-orientation-khawr-fakk-n-ae/ - Last updated: 2026-09-02 - Data source: Location data from the [GeoNames AE dump](https://download.geonames.org/export/dump/AE.zip) (CC BY 4.0, snapshot 2026-08-31, GeoNames ID 291696). Regulatory starting point: [UAE Government overview of local building authorities](https://u.ae/en/information-and-services/justice-safety-and-the-law/building-safety). Figures are illustrative — verify against the current locally adopted edition for the site. Solar-method context: [NOAA Solar Calculation Details](https://gml.noaa.gov/grad/solcalc/calcdetails.html); the Harth monthly table uses a simpler declination and geometric-daylight approximation whose stated limitations must be retained. Project-date refinement reference: [NREL Solar Position Algorithm](https://midcdmz.nrel.gov/spa/). ## Key facts | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Location reference | 25.3313, 56.3420 (GeoNames ID 291696; replace with surveyed project coordinates) | | Administrative area | 06 (GeoNames snapshot code; confirm the competent local jurisdiction) | | Regulatory starting point | emirate- and municipality-specific building regulations and permit systems (country-level context only; identify the competent local authority) | | June-solstice solar-noon check | 88.1° (declination-only geometry; not an hourly obstruction model) | | Equinox solar-noon check | 64.7° (declination-only geometry) | | December-solstice solar-noon check | 41.2° (declination-only geometry; verify civil time and horizon) | | Approximate daylight range | 10.4–13.6 hours (representative 21st-day geometry (December to June); excludes refraction and terrain) | ## Direct answer For Khawr Fakkān at 25.3313, 56.3420, the declination-only solar-noon altitude is approximately 88.1° at the June solstice, 64.7° at an equinox and 41.2° at the December solstice. Refine these geometry checks with the project date, civil time, facade azimuth, terrain and local horizon. The reproducible location record is GeoNames ID 291696 in administrative area 06, at 25.3313, 56.3420; replace it with the surveyed parcel point before relying on the result. As a transparent geometry check, declination-only solar-noon altitude is about 88.1° at the June solstice, 64.7° at an equinox and 41.2° at the December solstice. Representative 21st-day geometry ranges from about 10.4 hours in December to 13.6 hours in June; this excludes atmospheric refraction, terrain and obstruction effects. The cited national authority is a discovery starting point; current local documents and a named qualified reviewer control project use of this daylight and building orientation record. *Content and cited inputs reviewed by [Scott Barrington](https://nz.linkedin.com/in/barrington), Harth founder and architectural technology specialist · Published 2026-08-26 · Updated 2026-09-02.* ## What must be verified for Khawr Fakkān? Khawr Fakkān is represented here at approximately **25.3313, 56.3420** for discovery and workflow planning. A project address, parcel, elevation, exposure, authority, and submission date must replace that city-centre reference before design use. ## How should daylight and building orientation be established? 1. Fix the surveyed site and local time basis. 2. Select an authoritative weather source or a named solar-position algorithm. 3. Record period, percentile or scenario and units. 4. Test sensitivity to elevation, exposure, urban form and horizon. 5. Save the source file, retrieval date and checker in the model record. | Input | Project-specific evidence | QA question | | --- | --- | --- | | Site | surveyed coordinates, elevation and horizon | Does the point represent the building? | | Weather/solar method | named dataset, algorithm, period and time basis | Are station, time zone and units explicit? | | Design scenario | current and future scenario agreed by the team | Is an average being mistaken for an extreme? | | Compliance | adopted local document and edition | Was applicability confirmed with the authority? | ## What are the limits of this worksheet? This daylight-workflow page is a project-starting worksheet, not a design value or approval. The controlling authority and qualified professionals for the Khawr Fakkān site remain authoritative. ## Khawr Fakkān monthly solar geometry check for daylight & orientation | Representative date | Declination | Solar-noon altitude | Geometric daylight | Noon shadow / height | | --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | | 21 January | -20.14° | 44.53° | 10.667 h | 1.017 | | 21 February | -11.23° | 53.44° | 11.281 h | 0.742 | | 21 March | -0.40° | 64.27° | 11.975 h | 0.482 | | 21 April | +11.58° | 76.25° | 12.742 h | 0.245 | | 21 May | +20.14° | 84.81° | 13.333 h | 0.091 | | 21 June | +23.45° | 88.12° | 13.580 h | 0.033 | | 21 July | +20.44° | 85.11° | 13.355 h | 0.086 | | 21 August | +11.75° | 76.42° | 12.754 h | 0.242 | | 21 September | -0.20° | 64.47° | 11.987 h | 0.478 | | 21 October | -11.75° | 52.91° | 11.246 h | 0.756 | | 21 November | -20.44° | 44.23° | 10.645 h | 1.027 | | 21 December | -23.45° | 41.22° | 10.420 h | 1.142 | ## Khawr Fakkān solar-geometry fingerprint at 25.3313, 56.3420 - **Khawr Fakkān, 21 January:** declination -20.14°, noon altitude 44.53°, zenith 45.47°, geometric daylight 10.667 hours, and vertical-object noon shadow ratio 1.017. - **Khawr Fakkān, 21 February:** declination -11.23°, noon altitude 53.44°, zenith 36.56°, geometric daylight 11.281 hours, and vertical-object noon shadow ratio 0.742. - **Khawr Fakkān, 21 March:** declination -0.40°, noon altitude 64.27°, zenith 25.73°, geometric daylight 11.975 hours, and vertical-object noon shadow ratio 0.482. - **Khawr Fakkān, 21 April:** declination +11.58°, noon altitude 76.25°, zenith 13.75°, geometric daylight 12.742 hours, and vertical-object noon shadow ratio 0.245. - **Khawr Fakkān, 21 May:** declination +20.14°, noon altitude 84.81°, zenith 5.19°, geometric daylight 13.333 hours, and vertical-object noon shadow ratio 0.091. - **Khawr Fakkān, 21 June:** declination +23.45°, noon altitude 88.12°, zenith 1.88°, geometric daylight 13.580 hours, and vertical-object noon shadow ratio 0.033. - **Khawr Fakkān, 21 July:** declination +20.44°, noon altitude 85.11°, zenith 4.89°, geometric daylight 13.355 hours, and vertical-object noon shadow ratio 0.086. - **Khawr Fakkān, 21 August:** declination +11.75°, noon altitude 76.42°, zenith 13.58°, geometric daylight 12.754 hours, and vertical-object noon shadow ratio 0.242. - **Khawr Fakkān, 21 September:** declination -0.20°, noon altitude 64.47°, zenith 25.53°, geometric daylight 11.987 hours, and vertical-object noon shadow ratio 0.478. - **Khawr Fakkān, 21 October:** declination -11.75°, noon altitude 52.91°, zenith 37.09°, geometric daylight 11.246 hours, and vertical-object noon shadow ratio 0.756. - **Khawr Fakkān, 21 November:** declination -20.44°, noon altitude 44.23°, zenith 45.77°, geometric daylight 10.645 hours, and vertical-object noon shadow ratio 1.027. - **Khawr Fakkān, 21 December:** declination -23.45°, noon altitude 41.22°, zenith 48.78°, geometric daylight 10.420 hours, and vertical-object noon shadow ratio 1.142. Harth computed the Khawr Fakkān fingerprint for latitude 25.3313° with the Cooper declination approximation, `90° - |latitude - declination|` at solar noon, centre-to-centre sunrise hour angle and `1 / tan(altitude)` shadow ratio. Longitude 56.3420° is retained for a later civil-time conversion; this screen does not perform that conversion. See [NOAA's solar calculation details](https://gml.noaa.gov/grad/solcalc/calcdetails.html). Atmospheric refraction, terrain, facade azimuth and obstructions remain outside this first-pass comparison. ## Where can you explore related guidance? - [Explore all solar data guidance](https://harth.build/resources/solar-data.md) -

Regulatory starting point: [UAE Government overview of local building authorities](https://u.ae/en/information-and-services/justice-safety-and-the-law/building-safety). Figures are illustrative — verify against the current locally adopted edition for the site. Solar-method context: [NOAA Solar Calculation Details](https://gml.noaa.gov/grad/solcalc/calcdetails.html); the Harth monthly table uses a simpler declination and geometric-daylight approximation whose stated limitations must be retained. Project-date refinement reference: [NREL Solar Position Algorithm](https://midcdmz.nrel.gov/spa/). ### Source links - [download.geonames.org](https://download.geonames.org/export/dump/AE.zip) - [u.ae](https://u.ae/en/information-and-services/justice-safety-and-the-law/building-safety) - [gml.noaa.gov](https://gml.noaa.gov/grad/solcalc/calcdetails.html) - [midcdmz.nrel.gov](https://midcdmz.nrel.gov/spa/) ## Frequently asked questions ### What does the daylight and building orientation record for Khawr Fakkān establish?
