Paul<br> <br> You could also construct the shape of the existing building with "fixed shades". This would simulate the shading accurately without having to construct the whole existing building. The walls in contact with the existing building should be designated ADIABATIC as suggested in previous emails. <br> <br> Akram Rosheidat, Architect<br> ASU Ph.D. Program<br><br><b><i>Paul Hay <phay@cwjamaica.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii"> <meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 12 (filtered medium)"> <!--[if !mso]> <style> v\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} o\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} w\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} .shape {behavior:url(#default#VML);} </style> <![endif]--> <style> <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:Calibri; panose-1:2 15

If this is the case and the buildings at the ends of the addition are large, they could produce significant shading on the addition (especially if the exposed surfaces of the addition face north and south). The problem is: how do you quantify this? More than likely, you will have to create a schedule to represent it if you don’t model the whole building. <o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family:

style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: navy;">Greetings, I am simulating a building that from bird’s eye view looks like a big rectangle. Either end of the new construction is connected to existing buildings. Furthermore, it appears the first floor of the new construction extends into a renovation of one of the pre-existing forms. How does one turn off shading on exterior surfaces? Also, would it be better to modeling the existing buildings as well? The new construction will be running on its own systems.<o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: navy;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: navy;">Thanks.<o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt;
