<p class="MsoNormal">I am evaluating a new 10-story hotel design that is proposing glass curtain walls and pre-tensioned concrete floors that project beyond the walls. On 3 sides the projections are minimal (6 inches). However, on one side, the projections
extend about 3 ft. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For the small projections, I intent to use the following method recommended in the thread below. “In screen 4 of 25 of the DD shell wizard you can specify "Slab Penetrates Wall Plane" (check box).”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am interested in any tips for modeling the thermal impacts of the larger projections. Thoughts? (I plan to use window shading for the light/shading impacts.)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am hopeful that the analysis will help convince the design team to incorporate some insulation and thermal breaks!<o:p></o:p></p>
