Hi all, 

I'm working on a project that includes a fitness center. We assume occupants will enjoy calisthenics or running on treadmills within the space - both activities throw this message in CBE Thermal Comfort Tool (Metabolic rates below 1.0 or above 2.0 are not covered by this Standard). Has anyone had a project with a fitness or gym that this achieved credit for these spaces by simply providing a narrative that indicates thermal design compliance is not possible within these space types due to the metabolic rates exceeding what ASHRAE 55-2010 covers?
