I want to ask if there are countries that require to include the influence
of the external environment for the energy simulation performance of a
building in a Building Energy Rating system.

By external environment I mean surrounding buildings, trees, etc.

If there are such requirements can you tell (and give reference) what they
are? For instance: Which buildings? How far you take the surroundings from
the building? Etc.

Will appreciate your answers.

Best,

Dr. Abraham Yezioro D.Sc.
