<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I am trying to model a building for LEED compliance of EA credit 1 and am having difficulties. I was wondering if anyone could give me some input on the most efficient and easiest way to model the baseline vs. the proposed building? </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Is it best to model each baseline and proposed building in completely separate files and then compare them against one another when finished? </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Or is it better to model them in one file and use global parameters and parametric runs to compare the two? If so, how do you tackle the single band of windows required by ASHRAE 90.1?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Any tips or info. On how to best meet LEED requirements would be very helpful. </FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Thanks in advance, </FONT>
