[bldg-sim] App G 2004 question

[Peter Alspach]

Anyone out there know the source of why one would be required to
simulate a building in an orientation that it is not in? This doesn't
really make any sense to me - am I missing something?

I have a question about the Appendix G in 90.1, 2004.
In Table G3.1 the baseline building is to be simulated as follows: 
" Orientation. The baseline building performance shall be generated by
simulating the building with its actual orientation and again after
rotating the entire building 90, 180, 270 degrees, then averaging the
results. The building shall be modeled so that it does not shade
itself." 
What does --- the building shall be modeled so that it does not shade
itself ---- mean? 
Does it mean that if there is, for example, an L shaped building (which
self shades), it has to be modeled as square? rectangle?
Any thoughts on this appreciated.

Thanks
