Appendix G states the baseline model "does not shade itself", this simply
means that the envelope of the baseline model should have surface shading
turned off.  You should have surface shading turned on for the proposed
model.

Subject: [Bldg-sim] Shading projections-baseline building (LEED)

When constructing the baseline energy model, Appendix
G of ASHRAE 90.1 parameters specify that shading
projections are not to be included for the baseline
model.  My question is, if the design of the building
includes balconies (it's a mid-rise residential
building) would they be considered shading
projections?  My impression is that they are shading
projections, but I would like to confirm before
detailing the energy model.

Thank you,

Myrene Giuliani, LEED AP
