[Equest-users] Building Shades

[Rob Hudson]

that is my assumption as well.  i haven't truly modeled two separate
buildings before for a project, but i did try a litmus test model once.
what i did was created two shells one north of the other and looked at the
output reports for solar loads on the southern faces.  the northern one did
have a smaller load on the southern face, which leads me to believe that
this part of eQuest works just fine.  if anyone has an actual project that
they can speak of then that would be a better answer, but for now this is
what i got,
