Flush out and data center

Hej Dylan, many thanks. The datacenter is not a normally occupiable space, it has no windows, and this being requirement for occupiable spaces by law in the projectcountry. Good question with the IEQp1 calc! We have not filled in the form yet, but the credit requires only critical zones to be filled in the form. I don't consider the datacenter as critical zone, since it is not occupied- Would that make a difference - in our argumentation?

I actually might have found the answer in between. According IEQ p1 and IEQ c2 only occupied areas have to be included. The datacenter is not occupied and does not need to be included. With regard to IEQ c3.2, the Space Matrix actually states that datacenters ("Data floor areas including raised floor areas [2]") have to be included in the flush out option. Though does the same matrix indicates for this very room "Design this space as regularly occupied if one or more individuals normally spend time (more than one hour per person per day on average) seated or standing as they work, study, or perform other focused activities inside the building. " But we do not expect persons to work there more than one hour a week. This means that we do not have to design the datacenter like at regularly occupied space and do not need to flush out. Does that make sense or would you advice a CIR?
