Baseline model doesn't include adjacent buildings

Post by adrian_t »

Hi,

I've noticed that the baseline model, when generated, does not include the adjacent buildings drawn in the proposed model. Is there a way to include these since I can't seem to be able to use ModelIT on the baseline model to modify it in any way.

Thanks!

Hi,

I believe the 2007 Navigator will exclude any shading objects whereas the 2010 Navigator should retain these in the Baseline building so they can be include din SunCast solar shading calculations

Just as phil said, ASHRAE 90.1-2007 requires that no shading effects are considered for the baseline, unlike ASHRAE 90.1-2010
