[Bldg-sim] Four orientations for new construction attached to existing buildings?

[Bishop, Bill]

Thanks Jim, Stormy.

The project doesn't seem to meet the definition/intent of "addition". It has independent MEP systems and it doesn't share any structural elements with the two other dorms that it is connected to. It just has doors in the stairwells that allow access to the central corridors of the adjacent two dorms.

Nevertheless, I will skip the baseline rotations and let the LEED Reviewer tell me otherwise.

Hi, Bill - I had this situation once, and I rotated the baseline and submitted it. I got the following comment:

Table 1.8.1 and Table 1.8.1(b) of the template include the simulation results for the 90-degree, 180-degree, and 270-degree Baseline model rotations; however, since this project is an addition to an existing project, the Baseline model must not be simulated for the different rotations. Revise Table 1.8.1 and Table 1.8.1(b) by excluding the results for the 90-degree, 180-degree, and 270-degree Baseline model rotations.

A new dorm is physically connected to two existing buildings. Do I do four rotations for LEED modeling?

Thanks,
Bill
