LEED modeling management

1 post / 0 new

All,

I am trying to model a building for LEED compliance of EA credit 1 and am
having difficulties. I was wondering if anyone could give me some input on
the most efficient and easiest way to model the baseline vs. the proposed
building?

Is it best to model each baseline and proposed building in completely
separate files and then compare them against one another when finished?

Or is it better to model them in one file and use global parameters and
parametric runs to compare the two? If so, how do you tackle the single band
of windows required by ASHRAE 90.1?

Any tips or info. On how to best meet LEED requirements would be very
helpful.

Thanks in advance,
