“less glass > better glass.”<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>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></span></font></p>

“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></span></font></p>

deterioration that was observed in the annual free running performance of
