<DIV><SPAN class=099402820-15022007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Is
that official or unofficial news from USGBC? As far as I understood LEED
2.2 is using the version of Appendix G as written in ASHRAE 90.1-2004 without
addenda. The change in Appendix G allowing you to use the actual window
placement rather than equal banding on each facet was changed via ASHRAE
addendum A in 2006 which means it would NOT apply to LEED 2.2
projects.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

what I have been told by a member of the EA TAG is that the horizontal bands
are no longer required. You can place the windows as-designed and run the
baseline with the same windows (as long as you do not exceed 40%
window-to-wall ratio). </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

baseline<BR><BR></FONT></DIV><SPAN class=gmail_quote></SPAN>Hello,<BR><BR>I
am creating an energy model for a LEED project. In "baselining" the
building, one of the stipulations of ASHRAE 90.1 2004 is that the windows
must be evenly distributed in horizontal bands on each facet of the
facade. My building has 17 facets due to a somewhat complicated design
and I am wondering if anyone knows a relatively straightforward way to
accomplish that distribution. One of my problems is that in the Design
Development Wizard, there are only 4 areas in which to enter percentages
(N., E., S., W.) which doesn't seem to work on a building with so many
facets. On the other hand, it seems tedious to go into each window and
adjust its percentage. Is there a more elegant way to adjust window
proportions globally? I am thinking a parametric run might be the best
solution. Can anyone provide some insight on this?<BR><BR>Thank
you!<BR>Andrew McNamara<BR clear=all><BR></BLOCKQUOTE><PRE>
