Differences in sunlight distribution within Passive House and conventional residences

Many participants in my Passive House workshops have trouble imagining patterns of shade and shadow and light distribution within rooms. They propose sketches of solar shading regimes that simply will not work.  This does not help in their exams or contribute to the visual and thermal comfort within their proposed buildings.
 
This video continues an exploration of the efficacy of shading devices and the impact of deeper facades via a comparison of a conventional 1980s residence with no shading, with overhangs on three facades as well as a residence upgraded in line with Passive House principles.

Unlike the prior video [https://youtu.be/uM251PeGjuI] this video simultaneously tracks the outside and inside patterns of sunlight for the three house variants.
