NC-2009 IEQp1:Minimum IAQ Performance

regularly occupied zones

Do we need to include spaces such as corridors, store rooms when computing the outdoor air requirement using the 62MZCalc ? Or do we include only regularly occupied zones in the calculation? Please advice.

Good morning, you have to consider all occupied spaces, and you can exclude inactive space. Thanks for your attention, LEEDme

Dear Stella, You can find answer at IEQ space matrix http://www.usgbc.org/resources/eq-space-type-matrix . Storage rooms without permanent working places are considered unoccupied. Egress stairway or dedicated emergency exit corridor are considered unoccupied, otherwise it must be ventilated according to table 6-1 of AHRAE 62.1.
