Hi,
I am currently working on a project that includes approximately 48,000 SF of parking garage area. The garage is provided with mechanical exhaust and supply fans, but no air-conditioning or space heating is provided.
Could you please confirm whether this parking garage area should be included in the EUI calculation?
Additionally, from a net-zero energy assessment perspective (understanding this is not a LEED query), including the parking garage area results in the annual heating demand falling within the specified target range. Please advise whether it is appropriate to include the parking garage area for this evaluation.
