<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>It seems to me that credit should be taken
for shading from adjacent buildings. The base case procedure takes pains
to normalize the baseline analysis to a building that is neutral to solar gain
and there have been requirements in the past (and still are?) that the building
cannot self-shade itself. Other Bldg-sim readers probably can provide a
more of official reading of the actual rules and I am interested in hearing
their rationales.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

you to take credit for shading due to surrounding buildings. Can anyone
provide a specific reference to the code or LEED Reference Guide where that is
stated? I understand the rationale for a single building, but if I'm
working on a campus with single ownership and the buildings have a 30 year
contract to be owned and operated, I feel like I should be allowed to take a
credit for reducing the solar heat gains due to adjacent buildings. Any
thoughts?</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
