1. Provide a comprehensive list of accurately described opaque materials
2. Combine materials into constructions
3. Describe fenestration performance properties (e.g., U-value, Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC), Visible Transmittance)
4. Apply exterior insulated constructions to demising surfaces
5. Check that proposed exterior constructions meet mandatory U-value requirements
6. Remove user model building shades
7. Retain user model geometry
8. Adjust excess user model fenestration to standard design maximum window-to-wall ratio (WWR) and skylight-to-roof ratio (SRR) values.
