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).

Subject: [BLDG-SIM] appartment complex energy model for LEED



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
