[TRNSYS-users] Azimut anlge

[Jeff Thornton]

<there is another question concerning the azimut anlge in Trnsys for
 Type 109 and other types using the azimut angle. Which definition ist
 the right 0-360° as it is often defined in the manual or the way by
 describing the azimut wiht -90° for east and +90° for west? The
descriptions in the manual and in the types are highly  irritating...>

It's just geometry so the calculations will work equally well for an angle
of 270 degrees or the same angle presented as -90 degrees.  FYI 0 = facing
the equator and positive direction is always towards the west.
