NC-2009 EAp2: Minimum Energy Performance
We are working on a new office building that is designed to use natural ventilation, the building hasn't a HVAC system. We are defining the space conditioning categories for EaP2. Natural ventilation is designed for thermal comfort and complies with ASHRAE 62.1
Is the whole building an unconditioned space?
thanks

ASHRAE 90.1 defines the term "space" within Section #3.
No HVAC system most likely means it is an unconditioned space.
