[Bldg-sim] A90.1 local buildings

[Robert Gengelbach]

Yes, I think when you can verify the permanence of the shading structure the
USGBC should be more lenient in the allowing credit for the shading
(especially since the argument is that it may not be there in the future)

Hello,

Through our experience of a couple of projects, we would suggest that the
project should be credited when there is considerable saving through the
shading of local buildings/structures.
Please find an appropriate view over this issue at: 
http://greenbuildinggenie.com/tips/item/13-neighborhood-building-shading

This site seems to be cataloging all such issues as either Hot Tips or Hot
Issue. I find the collection quite informative . 

Regards,

Surekha Tetali.

During a EAc1 training seminar put on by the USGBC I distinctly remember
them saying that you shouldn't account for shading from other structures,
there is no way to be sure that the other structure will remain for the life
of the building that you are modeling.

Hi

 

A quick browse through appendix G doesn't mention local buildings in the
shading. Is it true local buildings aren't considered in the shading calc
for A90?
