- Azimuth: Angle between due south and the sun
- Due south means facing directly south
- Vertical Shadow Angle: VSA, vertical angle between the ground plane an the shadow cast by the lading edge of an overhang
- Horizontal Shadow Angle: HSA, determined by the shadow cast by a vertical element in relation to the orientation of the vertical surface (such as a window)
- **HSA = azimuth ± orientation**
- orientation = angle from due south of vertical surface
- If wall faces due south:
- orientation = 0
- HSA = azimuth
- **VSA = arctan(tan(altitude)/cos(HSA))** (Calculator in degrees)
- tan(VSA) = tan(altitude)/cos(HSA)

3. Using the 32N Sunpath Chart available in the Week 3 module find the solar Azimuth (in degrees) in January at the 14th hour. (Note that the time is in 24 hour format). Enter the value as an integer, do not write units in your answer. _Use **Positive** numbers for East of South and **Negative** numbers of West of South._

4. Using the 32N Sunpath Chart available in the Week 3 module find the solar Azimuth (in degrees) in February at the 9th hour. (Note that the time is in 24 hour format). Enter the value as an integer, do not write units in your answer. _Use **Positive** numbers for East of South and **Negative** numbers of West of South._

5. For a wall in a city at 32N latitude that is facing 14 degrees West of South what is the **HSA** at 9AM in April?  Enter the value as an integer, do not write units in your answer. Use the 32N Sunpath chart found on Quercus.

Solar Azimuth @ 9AM in April = 73
73 + 14 = 87

6. For a wall in a city at 32N latitude that is facing due South what is the **VSA** at 9AM in April?  Enter the value as an integer, do not write units in your answer. Use the 32N Sunpath chart found on Quercus.
7. Enter the altitude that you determined in the problem asking for the VSA.  Enter your answer in degrees.  Do not write units in your answer.
8. Enter the HSA that you determined in the problem asking for the VSA.
1. For a wall in a city at 32N latitude that is facing due South what is the **VSA** at 9AM in April? Use the 32N Sunpath chart found on Quercus.
2. Enter the altitude that you determined in the problem asking for the VSA.  Enter your answer in degrees. 45
3. Enter the HSA that you determined in the problem asking for the VSA. 73

VSA = arctan(tan(altitude)/cos(HSA)) = 73.70

9. For a window opening with an overhanging shade, the solar position at some point in the day results in an HSA of 27 degrees and an altitude of 83 degrees.  Determine the **horizontal** projection required if the overhang is to provide shade to the bottom of the 1 m tall window. Provide you answer in meters with 3 decimal places.  Do not write units in your answer.

For a window opening with an overhanging shade, the solar position at some point in the day results in an HSA of 27 degrees and an altitude of 83 degrees. Determine the **horizontal** projection required if the overhang is to provide shade to the bottom of the 1 m tall window. Provide you answer in meters with 3 decimal places.  Do not write units in your answer.

VSA = arctan(tan(altitude) / cos(HSA)) = 83.75
Horizontal Projection = Window Height / tan(VSA) = 0.109

10. For a window opening with an overhanging shade, the solar position at some point in the day results in an HSA of 30 degrees and an altitude of 68 degrees.  Determine the **LATERAL** projection required if the overhang is to provide shade to the bottom and full width of the 9 m tall window. Provide you answer in meters with 3 decimal places.  Do not write units in your answer.
11. Enter the Horizontal Projection that you determined in the problem asking for the Lateral Projection.

VSA = 70.71, Horizontal Projection = 3.1499
Lateral Projection = tan(HSA) × Horizontal Projection = 1.818
