According to the IEQ Space Matrix, spaces can be excluded from this credit if they’re non-regularly occupied and not normally comfort conditioned. For example, the storage area of a warehouse that’s accessed only intermittently is a good candidate for exclusion. However, any space that building occupants are expected to spend fifteen minutes or more at a time can’t be exempted.
Question
There are a few spaces in my project that can’t meet these requirements. Can’t I just exclude them?
