To optimize sustainable and equitable exposure to insolation in the city of Sulaimani, the annual insolation value (AIV) was calculated based on the algebraic sum of the amount of insolation energy for each double facade at each 5°, then factored by the cooling and heating degree-day ratio for each month.

Its efficiency highly depends on the ability of photosynthetic organisms to tolerate seriously different levels of insolation.
The importance of insolation in driving Holocene climate in this region is corroborated by numerical climate model simulations33.
Shortwave surface net radiation is usually determined by combining the measurement of insolation with an independent estimate of surface albedo.
The energy needed for these storms to form comes in the form of insolation, or solar radiation.
Due to variations in the Earth's orbit, the amount of insolation varies with periods of around 21,000, 40,000, 100,000, and 400,000 years.
There was evidence against a correlated evolution of insolation conditions to leaf shape (log-Bayes factor = −1.5) and labdanum secretion (log-Bayes factor = −1.8).
When this measure of insolation was modeled as an ordinal variable, each successively lower insolation level compared to the adjacent higher insolation level had 1.06 (95% CI 1.02 1.11) fold odds of cognitive impairment.
Participants in the lowest category of insolation compared to those in the highest insolation category had 1.36 times (95% CI = 1.08 1.70) the odds of cognitive impairment.
The NASA satellite used to obtain the insolation data in this study is able to record data eight times a day as well as provide an accurate characterization of insolation matched to each participant's geocoded home address.
