I find this info from another forum. I am confused of the reference of leeward and windward, in term of the lake?
The question on the ARE to which everyone is alluding gives parameters on which you can base an (the) appropriate answer. Furthermore, depending on client preference these parameters could change the answer. The question is what's your givens? Information on Topography, Climate, Views, Prevailing Winds, Systems Integration among a few others will all skew the answer to a different location. (Hence why above, my answer of near the body of water is correct, albeit seemingly sarcastic.)
See below how adding even one more parameter to your question gives you the ability to answer correctly.
Prevailing Winds given: Place Building leeward of prevailing wind in Arid, Cold or Temperate Climates but windward in Humid.
Hemisphere given: Place Building North to take advantage of solar gain in Cold or Temperate Climates, but South in Arid and Humid (assuming N hemisphere)
Client preference given: Place Building where ever the heck they want if money is not an obstacle.
Since the ARE is geared for North America, the answer to your question above is most likely the second example given above.
