<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>These guys have a good bit of
interesting reading – recommend bookmarking this link if you also have the
capacity to be entertained/chuckling with this kind of thing =). As I
read this call for reason/logic, I recalled this article they put out (linked
above) that pretty well spells out the logic to a layman behind “less glass
> better glass.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>That article above is probably
worth your time and your architects’ to read over to get the point
across. If/when they want you to drive it home, I’d suggest simply
building your site-specific 2/3 story building model and running it once with
something like 30% glazing (with a picture so they can visually see that’s a
lot of glass), and again with 100% storefront glass box and let their eyes bug
at the energy cost differences.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>Impact of overhangs for a “typical
building” is something you’ll have trouble finding an answer to, as it’s
obviously quite site and orientation specific. Again I’d suggest running
two models and observing the differences with/without the overhangs in
question. eQuest is one of many tools appropriate to the
task-at-hand.<o:p></o:p></p>

lang=EN-AU style='color:#00007F'>When all the overhang widths were
increased to 1m, the summer performance improved by an average of 26.6% in
conditioned mode. The improvement decreased to an average of 8% for all
houses in free running mode. The winter performance of the typical houses
in this situation deteriorated by an average of 8.2% in conditioned mode
and 11.7% in the free running mode. Thus the deterioration that was
observed in the annual free running performance of some of the houses in
response to the setting of overhang with a width of 1m for all windows
would appear to owe more to deterioration in their winter performance and
less improvement in their summer performance in free running mode than in
conditioned mode."</span><span lang=EN-AU> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
