		+	The English Housing Survey captures data regarding site exposure of the dwelling. This is different to exposure zones, which indicate the approximate amount of wind driven rain which the building may be subject to. In the EHS, 4 categories of site exposure are recorded as:
		+
		+	* Not exposed: The dwelling is in a sheltered position, possibly surrounded by other buildings or trees or tucked away in a valley.
		+	* Slightly exposed: The dwelling is quite sheltered but may be buffeted by winds from time to time.
		+	* Exposed: The dwelling is open to the elements, possibly on all 4 sides with little shelter provided by other buildings or natural obstacles.
		+	* Very exposed: The dwelling is permanently exposed to the worst that the English elements can offer. Cliff top houses and isolated hill farms might fall into this category.

	Exposure can also refer to the revelation of a secret or something that was concealed.		Exposure can also refer to the revelation of a secret or something that was concealed.

	Advice for Building Owners of Multi-storey, Multi-occupied Residential Buildings, published in January 2020 by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, states: ‘There is no prescribed definition of an exposed location but typically this would include buildings in an elevated or hill-top location, sea side locations, areas where the surrounding terrain will not provide sheltering from wind, or a combination of these factors. In dense cities, funnelling will need to be considered which could increase the wind effect.’		Advice for Building Owners of Multi-storey, Multi-occupied Residential Buildings, published in January 2020 by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, states: ‘There is no prescribed definition of an exposed location but typically this would include buildings in an elevated or hill-top location, sea side locations, areas where the surrounding terrain will not provide sheltering from wind, or a combination of these factors.
