NC-2009 EAp2: Minimum Energy Performance
Hello
I'm working in a energy simulation of a medical clinic, where it is possible to make some types of exams and diagnoses, but it doesn't have spaces like intensive care or surgical areas. I would like to know if even the clinic doesn't have such areas, I can use the lighting power densities of hospitals of ASHRAE 90.1 to spaces like corridors, active storages, etc.
Thanks for the attention.

A portion of our building envelope is historic. Can we exclude it from our model?
For an existing building, do I need to rotate the model?
Our process load is higher than 25%. Do we have to justify that?
Our local code references ASHRAE 90.1-2010. Should I use that for my documentation, or 90.1-2007?

If the clinic does not have such areas I am not sure how you could use them?
If your question is "can I use the corridors and active storage from Table 9.6.1 in a medical clinic if following the space-by-space method?", then the answer is yes.
