Question-and-Answer Resource for the Building Energy Modeling Community

This is somewhat hypothetical, but I would say the Aw, As and Ae for the budget model would all be 0.
The requirement is clearly too aggressive IMO given the lack of freedom concerning siting in most projects, not to mention the actual energy penalty of E/W glazing would not be nearly so severe in the real world, but it's black and white for 90.1-2010.
Might be time to bounce back to IECC-2012 if applicable in your area. Not that that is without a lot of conversation, but at least it would be a more sane comparison for this project.
