So, which is the side that we'd be most interested in, most concerned? Well, the south is the one that's gonna have the most, is gonna be the most impacted from the solar discussion because the sun is moving through this southern sky for us in North America and so we're getting those angles of impact but because there's such a big difference between the winter and the summer, that allows us to do a number of design issues where we can do things to block the summer but accept that winter sun.
