[Bldg-sim] Appendix G - Base Case Orientations and Glazing

[James V. Dirkes II P.E.]

Dear Ulrik,
 
Since the intent of the Standard is to assign the better glazing performance
to non-North walls, I always rotate the glazing characteristics with the
building. (e.g., I assign the "North" glazing characteristics to the
elevation that, after rotating, faces North)

Dear all,

When you are rotating the building through 4 different orientations, do you
change the glazing so that the glazing with the highest SHGC is always faces
north, or do you put the glazing with high SHGC on the original north
facade, and then rotate the building so that the high SHGC glazing faces the
east, south and west orientations in subsequent simulations?

Yours faithfully,
