Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Surface Vertices

["Michael J. Witte" <mjwitte@xxxxxxxx>]

The surface geometry rules are applied when viewing a surface from 
its exterior side, as if you are standing outside the zone looking at 
a surface.

For ceilings, view from above, for floors, view from below.  The 
choice of which vertex is the starting point is arbitray.  Any corner 
may be selected, but you must follow the correct clockwise or 
counterclockwise order for the remaining vertices.  An implied 
azimuth is computed based on your selection of starting vertex.

To verify your geometry, request the surface details report:

REPORT, Surfaces, Details;

This produces a summary of all surfaces with length, width, tilt, and 
azimuth in the eio output file.  For ease of reading, paste the 
report into a spreadsheet program and separate on commas.
