that is my assumption as well. i haven't truly modeled two separate buildings before for a project, but i did try a litmus test model once.<br>what i did was created two shells one north of the other and looked at the output reports for solar loads on the southern faces. the northern one did have a smaller load on the southern face, which leads me to believe that this part of eQuest works just fine. if anyone has an actual project that they can speak of then that would be a better answer, but for now this is what i got,<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">I’ve always been under the assumption that
if I model multiple shells in the wizard, the shading effects of the shells are
taken into account when performing the analysis. Is this actually the case?</span></font></p>

thing as creating a building shade in the detailed edit mode since I’m actually
introducing more components into the analysis.</span></font></p><div class="im">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">You cannot do this
through the wizards, it must be done in the detailed edit mode after the wizard
has been completed. shades are easy to inpliment as long as you have the
information (size and orientation) of the surrounding buildings readily
available.<br>
<br>
hope this helps!<br>
