most popular bldg rating system in the USA. They ALLOW you to take credit
for external shading from permanent features (example: another building or self
shading from a portion of your own bldg) in the proposed building model.
The baseline building model that you are comparing yourself to does not get to
take credit for external shading. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
