Hi All,
I assume that neither ASHRAE 90.1 ECB or Appendix G allow you to take
credit for shading due to surrounding buildings. Can anyone provide a
specific reference to the code or LEED Reference Guide where that is
stated? I understand the rationale for a single building, but if I'm
working on a campus with single ownership and the buildings have a 30
year contract to be owned and operated, I feel like I should be allowed
to take a credit for reducing the solar heat gains due to adjacent
buildings. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
