SkyXXObstructionElevations.csv
The following table reports the elevation of the highest shade-causing obstruction for every 1°
of azimuth (that is, compass heading). The azimuth is given in two different range formats: 0

to
360° and -180° to +180°. In the -180° to +180° format, 0° is south when in the northern hemi-
sphere and north when in the southern hemisphere. The data includes information about the
entire sky and horizon, including obstructions that appear outside of the sunpath region. The
region outside of the sunpaths may be important for ambient light analysis. The obstruction ele-
vation data in this file is also useful for importing into other design analysis software. An exam-
ple of the header and part of the data is shown below:
