baseline<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></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><PRE>
