Hi Everyone,
I am confused as to what you are supposed to model and what you aren't for exterior lighting. The building I am working on has a very shallow parking lot surrounding it, so the sidewalk lights also cover the parking spaces. So for my baseline do I still include sidewalk lighting and parking lot lighting? I guess my general question is: if the proposed model won't have a type of lighting (my building does have a canopy, but no lighting will be installed on it) do I still model it in the baseline? Technically you are saving energy by installing fewer lights. From what I've read, it seems youre not supposed to model nontradable surfaces (building facades) in the baseline if the proposed doesn't have it. Thanks for the help.
