Theoretically one might think modeling the glazing and shadowbox portions of a curtain wall with a single...

Is it recommended to include adjacent buildings to represent the shading effects in the proposed model. If so do I assume that I also include it in the baseline model also.

Hi, Is there any guidance on what service hot water consumption should be used in the energy model in USgal/h.pers or Lts/day/ person. What would USGBC look out for here ? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I am producing an energy model for a a refurbished building with a new lighting scheme. The installed...

Hi,

I have 2 questions in relation to the 90.1 Energy Model.

1) Is Dublin (Ireland) in ASHRAE climate zone 5 or 5a.

2) The building to be modeled is a 5 storey building with...

When modelling the Baseline where the building is existing (not a new build) what is the procedure for selecting the baseline constructions in the model. This building is outside the US. Do we...

For the baseline model can I please confirm the following;

Design Cooling SAT: According to ASHRAE 90.1 G3.1.2.8 should the supply temperture be 11 deg C less than room temp. Is this...

When modelling a building to the ASHRAE 90.1 PRM what conventions should be used in terms of room heights. Are floor voids and ceiling voids merged into the height of the rooms? Advise needed....

I am working on a Core & Shell LEED 2009 project and am wondering if for the energy simulation model on the proposed building versus the baseline, should we only include the shared common...

Our project building is 75% existing and 25% new construction. When the credit form calculates the EAc1 points, it is done based on a weighted average, which makes sense. What I cannot tell is if...
