Am I correct in saying that the following spaces would be considered "classroom spaces" and therefore contribute to the first 2 points of this credit:
1. Elementary Classrooms
2. Special ED Classrooms
3. Art Rooms
4. Music Rooms
And the following spaces would be "other regularly occupied spaces" for the 3rd point:
1. Gymnasium
2. Cafeteria
3. Media Center
4. Computer Labs
5. Kitchen
6. Offices, Workrooms, Clinic
The reference guide is not clear on this. The IEQ overview section groups "classrooms and core learning spaces" together, while the EQc8.1 just says "classroom spaces."
Thanks,

Check out page 404 in the BD+C reference guide (IEQ Overview section). This page categorizes the spaces for schools' IEQ credits. Spaces like gymnasiums, media centers and labs are all considered classroom spaces since kids are generally in these spaces for educational activities for 1+ hours a day.
