Hello,
We are dealing with project with underground garage, where adjacent spaces are technical rooms. Can we transfer the air from the garage to the technical rooms to ventilate them? Do we need to keep positive pressure in these rooms if they are not occupied spaces?
Thanks for help

If the technical rooms are occupied regularly or even occasionally, I wouldn't recommend transferring air from an underground garage as a means of ventilation. Air from an underground garage (unless open on 2 sides/what code requires locally for the garage to be considered naturally ventilated) isn't fresh air.
I don't know if this question applies to IEQc5?
