Hi,
When determining the most suitable Baseline HVAC System to use, as this is a function of building area and number of floors. Would you count a basement car park as a "floor". My building has 5 Levels plus a basement. Levels ground to 5 = 14,4000m2. The basement is another 5600m2. I am assuming the baseline system to use would be system 7 - VAV with reheat.

You should count floors of conditioned space. If the parking garage is not conditioned, don't count that as a floor.
