Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] How do I change a building's orientation?

[Linda Lawrie <linda@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If you have entered "world coordinates" in the SurfaceGeometry 
object, the zone north axis and building north axis have no effect.

Search the documentation or look at those fields in the Building, 
Zone, and SurfaceGeometry objects.
