[Bldg-sim] ASHRAE 90.1-App G: Site Shading

[Demba Ndiaye]

Eric, 

 

My understanding is that, regardless of the fact that the building is
new or existing, there is no specific requirement regarding the modeling
of neighboring shading objects.

Subject: [Bldg-sim] ASHRAE 90.1-App G: Site Shading

 

Hello,

 

ASHRAE 90.1-2004 Appendix G has a clause pertaining to self-shading of
the baseline building, but there does not seem to be any explicit
direction regarding shading from other objects beyond the building
envelope (trees, buildings, etc).  Should the base case be modeled as
being impacted by adjacent buildings or other objects?  Would this be
different for a new building versus an existing building that is being
gutted?

 

Thanks
