having stayed in apartments with east and west sun before I feel west sun harder to tolerate. I had this HDB in which most the bedrooms get hit by west sun. When i return from work I can feel the wall radiating heat even in the night. It's like a sauna.
Logically speaking, the apartment and surrounding are cooled down overnight, the impact of the 4+ hours (7+ till noon, and assuming your are not staying on the top floor or PH) of morning sun may not be as bad. From noon, esp during the hot months when the temperature is higher, additional west sun hitting an apartment can cause it to warm up quite considerably.....
From the photos I have taken at about 1645hrs the left wall of stack 24 gets fully hit by the setting sun....i hope to check when I am free what time the shielding effect from Botannia will kick in.
