<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I am modeling a building for
LEED. Once I finish modeling my building as designed, I need to model
compare the model to a baseline building. One of the baseline building
requirements is to have equal window distribution on all facades. I know
that in the wizard, if you know your window %’s that you can specify a window
width of 0 it will create a single long window per façade. Unfortunately,
I used the custom window/door placement & am planning on taking the plunge
into DE mode to polish off my As Designed building. In DE mode, is there a
simple way to model windows in a strip fashion as LEED baseline buildings
require? What is the best way to go about
this?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I pawed through the building-sim
archives and there is a lot of hype about an ASHRAE 90.1 addendum A that gets
rid of this requirement to equally distribute glazing in horizontal bands.
>From what I read, I don’t think that LEED accepts this addendum. That
being said, I just want to go forward with modeling the horizontal bands.
If somebody knows otherwise for a FACT, I would appreciate the heads up!
