Grand Dunman Unit Selector

Every stack at a glance

Computed for the middle storey of each tower (storey 9 in the 18-storey blocks), or the middle of its own storeys for a stack that does not have that storey. Sun columns are hours of direct sun on the window on 21 June and 21 December after shading by other buildings; “Afternoon sun” lists the months with an hour or more after 2pm. Open the tool for any other storey or date.
