About this document
Surface Area to Volume Ratio Insights by chioma is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The surface area to volume (SA:V) ratio of a building indicates how much exterior surface area it has relative to its interior volume. A higher SA:V ratio means more heat loss/gain, while a lower ratio means less. The SA:V ratio can also suggest how much natural light and windows a building might have. Both heat transfer properties and natural lighting are important factors to consider in building design.
