Today I learnt a new word. The word itself was a little tricky to pronounce but actually getting my head around how it worked proved to be a little more challenging.
When someone asks you to run an energy simulation program on a simple house design, you don't expect them to ask you for the azimuth of the wall. It appears that it is an alternative to using the points of the compass to explain which way the wall is actually facing. Still confused?
I'll leave it to the good astronomers to explain as they managed to make it clearer than our tutor.

Enjoy your word of the week. Goes without saying you should have a go at putting it randomly somewhere in a sentence in the not too distant future!
