Self shading is definitely a legitimate strategy. Some software packages can pick this up "automatically". I don't believe Trace has that capability. I would do just what you described above, and include an explanatory narrative in your LEED submission.

On Demand Water Heaters Any advice on how to capture savings from these devices in energy modeling? Our engineer is struggling.

Hi Peter, The baseline is required to use the same type of equipment so the only savings you can capture related to this equipment is the difference in efficiency between the proposed water heater and the baseline defined in ASHRAE 90.1-2007 Table 7.8.
