kitchen facilities and LEED rating system selection

To tag onto Tristan's response. I deferred to ASHRAE for the answer. Under LEED NC v2.2, it states that ASHRAE 90.1 establishes the minimum requirements for the energy efficient design of buildings, except low-rise residential buildings. Looking at how ASHRAE defines residential as spaces in buildings used primarily for living and sleeping...includes dwelling unites, hotel/motel guest rooms, dormitories...There's no mention of requiring a kitchen to be labeled as residential. So as long as your barracks are not considered low-rise residential (three stories or fewer above grade), then it can be designed to meet (and exceed) EAp2 and therefore attempt credits SSc2 and 4.
