<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>With the self-shading, the building could be designed such
that there is no self-shading OR it could be designed such that there is. So,
because both are possibilities you are allowed to take credit for self-shading
because you chose a more efficient building design.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>With existing adjacent buildings, it is quite possible that
any building you design will be shaded. Thus, it does not make sense to be able
to take credit for this because any baseline building would also be shaded -
the building shading is constant. On the other hand, if part of the lot you are
building on is un-shaded by adjacent buildings and you have a choice between
placing the building in the shadow of the adjacent buildings or placing it
outside the shadow, then I would say you could take the credit.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
