Hi,
I'm currently analysing a building with several levels with similar layouts and glazed areas. Since sDA and ASE simulations are very time consumming, and the conclusions for the several floors will be probably similar, do you think it is reasonable to simulate only one of the floors and assume that performance for the remaining floors?
Thanks in advance,

Is it possible to combine Options 1 and 2 for different spaces in the same building?
What spaces are considered regularly occupied and must be included in the calculations?
What daylight simulation software can I use for LEED compliance?
My office space will have cubicles with high partitions. Should I include those in my model?
What types of glare control are acceptable for this credit?
Do I actually need to submit the USGBC Daylight and Quality Views calculator?
Can electrochromic glazing qualify as a glare control device?

I think that doing one floor is okay. But select worst case floor and provide the narrative as supportive document.
