[Bldg-sim] Model External Shading Devices for LEED compliance

[Lizzy Guhl]

Dear All,

 

I am new to Leed compliance simulations and I would like to know how to
model external shading devices in the proposed and baseline building.
Appendix G, Table G3.1 – 5. Building Envelope, is clear about permanent
shading devices being allowed for the proposed building. But what about the
baseline building? Do you model the external shading devices in the baseline
building as well?

 

I´d appreciate any help on the matter.

 

Regards,

Lizzy
