[Equest-users] LEED 2009 Energy Performance

[Otto Schwieterman]

Michael,

 

I would assume that the reviewer wants to know if there is an adjacent
building, trees, etc. that would affect the heating and cooling load.
You can model this by creating an exterior wall that is the same size,
shape and distance from the building as the shading source. It may be a
good idea to add the wall to a "Dummy Space" so it does not affect your
load to a specific room.

 

Table 1.4 of the EAp2 LEED spreadsheet has a fenestration and shading
section and it includes shading devices. I typically included overhangs
and automatically controlled shades and blinds in this section.

Good afternoon,

 

I am working on a LEED 2009 model and in the paperwork it asks for a
"Building Shading Description." I do not remember this detail in any of
my older LEED projects and I am not sure what they are looking for or
how it would affect the eQuest model. Does anyone know what USGBC is
looking for here? Also, does anyone know how/if building shading is
taken into account by equest?

 

Thanks,

 

Michael Shields
