Sun altitude (Heat Stress Overlay)

Icon	Attribute	Unit	Range	Description	Default value
	SUN_ALTITUDE	angle (0-90°)		The sun angle up from the horizon.	49.71

Notes

• The sun altitude and azimuth are (re)calculated automatically based on the project world location and the date, when the dates of the overlay are modified via the Heat Overlay configuration wizard. They are not automatically recalculated when the dates attribute of the Heat Overlay is modified directly.

How-to's

• Shade calculation model (Heat Overlay).
• Temperature formulas (Heat Overlay).
