took PPD this morning, was a little taken back of how different it is to the practice exam ( a lot niche questions / diagrams) - that being said anyone know a good study resource on locating sites just based of latitude ? ex a bldg in 35 degree north latitude - thanks

  I'm guessing they asked you to choose a passive heating/cooling strategy based on climate zone, based on a given latitude. In that case it's either gona be a small number (hot) or large number (cold). I don't think it will ever get more specific than that.

  Yes it was along those lines, now would 35 degrees be considered a low or high number ? i have 0 exp with this type of stuff - thank you for your response j

  Understanding latitude and sun path is critical for PA PPD & PDD. Make sure you understand this well before taking another exam. Good luck!

  haha yeah passed PA two weeks ago , This test felt like an extension of it! studied a bunch on suns effect - was definitely thrown off by it not giving me a State, climate zone or saying cold - thank you so much
