The Passive House Planning Package does have localized information for the locale where the proposed Passive Haus is to be built.

It also has significant sections where fenestration losses and solar gain can be calculated.

These sections would allow the designer to compensate the design for unusual occurrences such as a large evergreen tree on the sun side.
