Repair bay do not have Ventilation requirement but they do have exhaust requirement. Per the increased ventilation credit would we have to exhaust 30% more outside air?

Based on the language of this credit, the emphasis is on supply side breathing-zone ventilation, rather than exhaust. Has anyone else on this forum had to provide 30% more exhaust to meet this credit?

The credit language does not mention exhaust. The increase in ventilation applied to only regularly occupied spaces.That being said if the repair bay is regularly occupied you may consider providing ventilation.
I have achieved this credits many times without providing information about the buildings exhaust systems.
