altitude (optional)

The altitude of the site.

terrain (optional)

The kind of terrain

latitude (optional)

In degrees. South is negative and North is positive

This value is irrelevant if a simulation is ran based on an EPW weather file (in which case it is extracted such file). However, it can be useful when producing synthetic weathers or HVAC sizing, or other applications.

longitude (optional)

In degrees. West is negative, east is positive.

This value is irrelevant if a simulation is ran based on an EPW weather file (in which case it is extracted such file). However, it can be useful when producing synthetic weathers or HVAC sizing, or other applications.

standard_meridian (optional)

In degrees. This is 15*GMT Time Zone

This value is irrelevant if a simulation is ran based on an EPW weather file (in which case it is extracted such file). However, it can be useful when producing synthetic weathers or HVAC sizing, or other applications.
