Hello all,
Thank you to all that have been answering my questions throughout this last
week. You have been a great help.
I am modeling a building for LEED. Once I finish modeling my building as
designed, I need to model compare the model to a baseline building. One of
the baseline building requirements is to have equal window distribution on
all facades. I know that in the wizard, if you know your window %s that
you can specify a window width of 0 it will create a single long window per
façade. Unfortunately, I used the custom window/door placement & am
planning on taking the plunge into DE mode to polish off my As Designed
building. In DE mode, is there a simple way to model windows in a strip
fashion as LEED baseline buildings require? What is the best way to go
about this?
I pawed through the building-sim archives and there is a lot of hype about
an ASHRAE 90.1 addendum A that gets rid of this requirement to equally
distribute glazing in horizontal bands. From what I read, I dont think
that LEED accepts this addendum. That being said, I just want to go forward
with modeling the horizontal bands. If somebody knows otherwise for a FACT,
I would appreciate the heads up!
Thanks,
Ryan Lacey
