[Equest-users] Modeling site obstructions for EAp2c1

[Demba Ndiaye]

Arpan,

The 90.1-2007 User's Manual clearly states (page G-15):

"Shading of the building by surrounding structures and topography should be modeled identically in both the proposed and baseline buildings."

Which confirms what you have grasped.

Regards,

Subject: [Equest-users] Modeling site obstructions for EAp2c1

All,

I have learned through informal conversations that modeling site obstructions from (surrounding buildings) is fine by GBCI, so long as there is consistency and the same approach is taken in both Baseline and Proposed models, i.e. either both models include surrounding buildings, nor neither does.

Is there a CIR or other reference anyone is familiar with which records this guidance, which can be cited?

Thanks.
