Exterior Lighting - Multiple Buildings

Hi, How is possible to consider Exterior Lighting Energy Consumption on a Multiple Building Process where there is no specific boundary per each building? How can it be considered; dividing the total amount and add a proportional part to each building? Thanks in advance.

You will need to determine an area of exterior lighting for the baseline. I do not think it would make sense to just divide it up proportionally unless this is based on the exterior lighting area associated with each building.

If the exterior lighting area is determined for the whole site (leed boundary) but there is no specific area determined for each building, what can be reasonable to do? Can I determine an associated exterior lighting area for each building just for energy modelling purposes?

Yes, just establish a reasonable area for each building.

Ok. Thanks.
