call an idf object field value for use in another object field

I want to dynamically assign the Vertex values of the following surface

Shading Surface 1, !- Name , !- Transmittance Schedule Name , !- Number of Vertices 0, 2.5, 4.572, !- X,Y,Z Vertex 1 {m} 0, 0, 4.572, !- X,Y,Z Vertex 2 {m} 1.22, 0, 4.572, !- X,Y,Z Vertex 3 {m} 1.22, 2.5, 4.572; !- X,Y,Z Vertex 4 {m}

based on some calculations that include the latitude of the site.

Site:Location, Tampa International Ap, !- Name 27.97, !- Latitude {deg} -82.53, !- Longitude {deg} -5, !- Time Zone {hr} 6; !- Elevation {m}

I would like to call the 27.97 latitude value. Any tips? The following example is useful but not exactly what I am looking for: Group Parametrics

Thank you.
