Dear Angela,<br>
<br>
If your are located in the nortern hemisphere, the azimuth for north
should be 180.<br>
<br>
<br>
I almays hae trouble to remember that. If you clic on the
"more" button beside the azimth input in IIsiBAt, you'll read
this information :<br>
<br>
<i>The solar azimuth angle is the angle between the local meridian
and<br>
the projection of the line of sight of the sun onto the horizontal<br>
plane. The reference is as follows:<br>
0 = Facing equator<br>
90 = Facing West<br>
180 (or -180) = Facing away from the equator<br>
-90 (or 270) = Facing East<br>
<br>
Examples:<br>
Surf. Facing due South in Northern hemisphere:
0<br>
Facing North-East in Northern hemisphere: -135<br>
Facing South-West in Northern hemisphere: +45<br>
Facing due North in Southern hemisphere: 0<br>
Facing North-East in Southern hemisphere: -45<br>
Facing South-West in Southern hemisphere: +135<br>
<br>
</i>Best regards,<br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite>Dear Michael,<br>
My name is Angela Fandino. I am modeling a building with TRNSYS in<br>
Melbourne Australia (Southern Hemisphere). The building is facing
North<br>
and I have been using the following Azimuths:<br>
<br>
Azimuth of surface 1 (facing North) = 0<br>
Azimuth of surface 2 (facing South) = 180<br>
Azimuth of surface 3 (facing East) = 90<br>
Azimuth of surface 4 (facing West) = 270.<br>
<br>
After looking at this link:<br>

<br>
it is a bit confusing for me to know if I am using the correct
values.<br>
I was wondering if you could please advice/comment on it.<br>
I really appreciate your time and assistance.<br>
<br>
Kind Regards,<br>
Angela<br>
