[BLDG-SIM] LEED Window to Wall Ratio simulation

["Andy McNamara" <andyjmc@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

This question is applicable to all modeling programs and pertains to LEED-NC.  I have a one-story building which has a 55% window to wall ratio (WWR).  The fenestration breaks down as roughly 20% glass doors and 80% windows.  When I create a baseline model of the building by reducing the WWR to 40% and creating a band of windows evenly distributed across all facades, is it necessary to maintain the same ratio between windows and glass doors as what I have in the proposed building?  Is this an acceptable method?

Thanks!
Andy
