Subject: [Equest-users] LEED Baseline Windows
Hello all,
Thank you to all that have been answering my questions throughout this last week. You have been a great help.
I am modeling a building for LEED. Once I finish modeling my building as designed, I need to model compare the model to a baseline building. One of the baseline building requirements is to have equal window distribution on all facades. I know that in the wizard, if you know your window %'s that you can specify a window width of 0 it will create a single long window per façade. Unfortunately, I used the custom window/door placement & am planning on taking the plunge into DE mode to polish off my As Designed building. In DE mode, is there a simple way to model windows in a strip fashion as LEED baseline buildings require? What is the best way to go about this?
I pawed through the building-sim archives and there is a lot of hype about an ASHRAE 90.1 addendum A that gets rid of this requirement to equally distribute glazing in horizontal bands. From what I read, I don't think that LEED accepts this addendum. That being said, I just want to go forward with modeling the horizontal bands. If somebody knows otherwise for a FACT, I would appreciate the heads up!
Thanks,
Ryan Lacey
