the variable names in Type56's inputs are just variable names.
They do not have any orientation information built into them. The
building takes as an input whatever amount of solar radiation you
tell it is incident on those surfaces. The orientation definition is
typically done in the weather data reading/processing component
(Type15) by setting the slope and azimuth of each of your building's
surfaces. The weather component will output total and beam radiation
as well as the angle of incidence (which is quite important as the
thermal properties of the windows in your building have angular
dependence to them)<br>
