I think your best bet is to compare two separate models. In the tools-parametric run section link baseline building to the proposed inp file. Create a parametric run and keep adding parametric components and select the category for each change. After comparing your components (which you have to update and test by running the action - simulate building performance all in the detail interface) run the perform simulation and fix errors. Then dumb down to window to average sq per of window to all sides in your baseline case. I haven't done that yet but the teacher said to do it that way and can anyone help with changing the orientation in the detailed interface for LEED??? <br>

<div>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial">All,</font>
</p>
<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>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial">Thanks in advance, </font>
