<DIV>Myrene,</DIV>

<DIV>You could consider any shading provided by the balconies as building self-shading, which isn't allowed in the Baseline and is allowed for the Proposed Design. Whether you call them shading projections or call their shading self-shading, I think they are not allowed in the Baseline and are in the Proposed. Let me know if anybody disagrees!</DIV>

<DIV>Kristin<BR><BR>>>> Myrene Giuliani <mygiuliani@yahoo.com> 3/25/2008 11:24 AM >>><BR>When constructing the baseline energy model, Appendix<BR>G of ASHRAE 90.1 parameters specify that shading<BR>projections are not to be included for the baseline<BR>model. My question is, if the design of the building<BR>includes balconies (it's a mid-rise residential<BR>building) would they be considered shading<BR>projections? My impression is that they are shading<BR>projections, but I would like to confirm before<BR>detailing the energy model.<BR><BR>Thank you,<BR><BR>Myrene Giuliani, LEED AP<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR> ____________________________________________________________________________________<BR>Be a better friend, newshound, and <BR>know-it-all with Yahoo!
