When measuring and setting polarity
The closer a facing is to the 157.5° or 172.5° boundary, the more easily a measuring error pushes it into Si 巳 or Wu 午. When a reading falls within 1° of either boundary, measure again at several points before setting polarity.
Once polarity is set, every room, door or item lying within the 157.5° – 172.5° sector, seen from the center of the house, belongs to Bing.

Questions about Bing
Is a house facing 165° a South-facing house?
Yes, but that is not precise enough. The South spans 45° (157.5° – 202.5°) and holds three mountains, Bing, Wu, Ding; a house facing 165° is in Bing. Naming the mountain tells apart houses only a few degrees from each other.
What does a house facing Bing sit on?
It sits Ren 壬, 337.5° – 352.5°. Sitting and facing are always exactly 180° apart.
