When measuring and setting polarity
The closer a facing is to the 337.5° or 352.5° boundary, the more easily a measuring error pushes it into Hai 亥 or Zi 子. 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 337.5° – 352.5° sector, seen from the center of the house, belongs to Ren.

Questions about Ren
Is a house facing 345° a North-facing house?
Yes, but that is not precise enough. The North spans 45° (337.5° – 22.5°) and holds three mountains, Zi, Gui, Ren; a house facing 345° is in Ren. Naming the mountain tells apart houses only a few degrees from each other.
What does a house facing Ren sit on?
It sits Bing 丙, 157.5° – 172.5°. Sitting and facing are always exactly 180° apart.
