When constructing the baseline energy model, Appendix
G of ASHRAE 90.1 parameters specify that shading
projections are not to be included for the baseline
model. My question is, if the design of the building
includes balconies (it's a mid-rise residential
building) would they be considered shading
projections? My impression is that they are shading
projections, but I would like to confirm before
detailing the energy model.

Thank you,
