Hi Michael,<br>
<br>
If you are talking about EAp2 Section 1.4 Tables, it will be asking
for "Building Self-Shading Description". According to Appendix G,
the Baseline should be modeled so that exterior surfaces do not
shade each other, and the Proposed model should be modeled with
exterior surfaces shading each other (to claim credit for solar
control due to building siting and shape).<br>
<br>
eQuest takes this kind of shading into account in the properties
window of each exterior surface. The best way to configure this is
to switch into Spreadsheet mode and change the values for all of the
surfaces with the usual paste-move down approach. Could take a very
long time if you have hundreds of surfaces. There should be faster
ways, like automatically replacing the text in the source file.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I am working on a LEED 2009 model and in
the paperwork it asks for a “Building Shading Description.” I
do not remember this detail in any of my older LEED projects
and I am not sure what they are looking for or how it would
affect the eQuest model. Does anyone know what USGBC is
looking for here? Also, does anyone know how/if building
shading is taken into account by equest?<o:p></o:p></p>
