<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Appendix G does specifically
state that for existing buildings being gutted, the Baseline building envelope
should be modeled based on the existing conditions prior to any revisions that
are part of the scope of work being evaluated (Table G3.1(5)(f)). Therefore,
if you are modeling self-shading and adjacent buildings in the proposed case
for an existing building, they should also be modeled in the base case for
existing buildings.<br>

90.1-2004 Appendix G has a clause pertaining to self-shading of the baseline
building, but there does not seem to be any explicit direction regarding
shading from other objects beyond the building envelope (trees, buildings,
etc). Should the base case be modeled as being impacted by adjacent
buildings or other objects? Would this be different for a new building
versus an existing building that is being gutted?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
