Hi<div><br></div><div>you can club the spandrel area, glass area and panel area under each zone and create one big rectangle (total area of each type) .</div><div>equest generally assumes the effect of total area of glass.</div>
<div>eg. if you have 3 vision glass areas of 10'x5' each, you can create just one big window 30'x5' if they are in same zone.</div><div><br></div><div>hope this helps.</div><div><br></div><div>Deepika</div>
