Abstract The purpose of this study is to reveal the characteristics of opening orientation of the non-south oriented flat-type apartment building. Main considerations of the study are to figure out concepts and tools for comparative evaluation, which are 2 divisions of advantage or disadvantage of view, noise and privacy by dividing types of site plan and environmental conditions of the Apart. Site survey data are analysed by SPSS+. The result of this study is as follows: 1) It was acknowledged that the comparative method used in this paper was useful to evaluate solar radiations, view, noise, and privacy of the opening orientation in apartment buildings. 2) It is shown that the suggested sequences of the comparative evaluation, which are solar radiation as first consideration, privacy as second, view as third and noise as fourth, are valuable to understand the opening orientation in flat-type apartment buildings. As a new suggestion, it was confirmed that a new style of flat-type apartment buildings, which has different opening orientations in a same floor and in a same elevation, will be needed in a future.
