Which of the following is NOT part of good site planning?

• A. Layout of building
• B. Orientation
• C. Access
• D. Roof color

Answer: (D)

Good site planning focuses on how the site is arranged to optimize function, energy performance, and movement. The layout of the building determines internal flow, where parking and pathways go, and how utilities are organized. Orientation considers how the building can take advantage of sun and prevailing winds to improve comfort and efficiency. Access covers the points and routes for entering the site, as well as pedestrian and vehicle movements.

Roof color does not influence these fundamental decisions about site configuration, access, or orientation. It relates more to the building’s exterior appearance and, at most, to aspects of energy performance, but it doesn’t change how the site is laid out or how people and vehicles navigate it.
