Building rotations

Hello,

I have a question regarding modeling for LEED. I am working on a building in New York City and it is surrounded by much higher buildings. Are we allowed to model the surrounding buildings in the baseline and design? If so, when I rotate it, do I keep readjusting it so that it doesn't intersect with the fixed shades?

It seems like the other buildings should be taken into account considering that this building is around 80% glass but does not receive a large amount of sunlight.
