Fresh air requirements for a supermarket

I was wondering if anyone has experience dealing with supermarket fresh air calculations. In particular, is a supermarket's storage area considered an occupiable space? The definition of occupiable space says that storage rooms can be excluded, but has the difference between a storage space and a warehouse space been established at some point in the case of a supermarket? Thanks

A warehouse is occupiable space. A closet is not. "Occupiable Space: an enclosed space intended for human activities, excluding those spaces intended primarily for other purposes, such as storage rooms and equipment rooms, that are only occupied occasionally, and for short periods of time." from ASHRAE 62.1-2007 If someone is working in there it's occupiable.
