Hello,<br><br>Through our experience of a couple of projects, we would suggest that the project should be credited when there is considerable saving through the shading of local buildings/structures.<br>Please find an appropriate view over this issue at: <br>

them saying that you shouldn’t account for shading from other structures,
there is no way to be sure that the other structure will remain for the life of
the building that you are modeling.</span></p>

quick browse through appendix G doesn't mention local buildings in the shading.
