NC-2009 IEQp1: Minimum IAQ Performance
Could a sliding patio door contribute to the total operable wall area in a naturally ventilated space, or is it windows only? (per ASHRAE 62.1-2007 paragraph 5.1)

Is outdoor air quality testing required in a space using natural ventilation?
What options are available to projects outside the US to meet this prerequisite?
Can LEED 2009 projects elect to follow ASHRAE 62.1-2010 for this prerequisite?
Which units should be included in the calculations for this prerequisite?

Section 5.1.1 of the standards states ""operable wall". It does not specifically list windows or doors. I would think either windows or doors contribute to the operable wall area.
Good design should include a screen door to keep out rodents.
