<div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif">Carol and Jason tend to buy the idea of proportionally reduce the windows. Well, Yes and No. It very much depends on which standard, 2004 or 2007, you are going to use. </font></div>

<div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif">What Will quoted is from 90.1-2004 (User Manual), so I answered accordingly in my last email. The proof can be found at Page G-16, <b><font size="2"><font size="2">Example G-D—Baseline Building Model, Building Envelope. </font></font></b></font><br>
<br><font face="tahoma,sans-serif">From the answer, it says: " ...<font size="2"><font size="2">The baseline building window area is distributed equally on each facade in horizontal bands. This means that some rooms that do not have windows in the proposed building will have windows in the baseline building. Since daylighting is not modeled in the baseline building, the position of the band of glass above the floor is not relevant...." </font></font></font></div>
<div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif"></font> </div>
<div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif">In 2007, however, it says: " ...<font size="2"><font size="2">The baseline building has each window (including glass doors) area reduced proportionally by a factor of 67% (40%/60%=67%) from the proposed building. ..." </font></font></font></div>
