[Equest-users] Baseline Rotation Existing Building

[Ömer Moltay]

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. Following up on this: ASHRAE 90.1 also says that 
baseline building shall be modelled so that it does not shade itself. 
This allows for earning credit for innovative design where shading is 
beneficial. However, since there is no design possibility for an 
existing building, does the same logic follow to the conclusion that the 
baseline building for an existing building should be allowed to shade 
itself?

Thanks,

Ömer Moltay
