Site location

Location tab on model data at Site level

 

You can set the latitude/longitude of the site for cooling design calculations as well as a number of site characteristics.

Latitude

The latitude (in degrees) of the site. By convention, North Latitude is represented as positive; South Latitude as negative. Minutes should be represented in decimal fractions of 60. (15’ is 15/60 or .25)

Longitude

The longitude (in degrees) of the site. By convention, East Longitude is represented as positive; West Longitude as negative. Minutes should be represented in decimal fractions of 60. (15’ is 15/60 or .25).

 

Note: the latitude and longitude location data will only affect cooling design calculations. For simulations, the position of the sun is defined by the location in the hourly weather file.
