<div>Hello,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have a question regarding modeling for LEED. I am working on a building in New York City and it is surrounded by much higher buildings. Are we allowed to model the surrounding buildings in the baseline and design? If so, when I rotate it, do I keep
readjusting it so that it doesn’t intersect with the fixed shades?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It seems like the other buildings should be taken into account considering that this building is around 80% glass but does not receive a large amount of sunlight.</div>
