[BLDG-SIM] apartment complex energy model for LEED

Despite the shading issue, couldn't you use the various orientations as
parameter runs, since all of other inputs are likely to be the same?

I would think that for the base building, its ok to do just one (since you
have to run each orientation and average it, and since you discount self
shading). The designed building will self shade though, so you might want to
build that into the study. Might not be that significant though (might not
be worth the effort of modeling all buildings).

This is an apartment building complex with identical buildings in different
orientations. To do energy analysis for LEED in eQUEST does one need to
model the entire complex (all buildings together)? Or can one just model one
of the typical buildings and run that model in the various orientations and
sum up energy use?

Is there a certain requirement for LEED?

Thanks
