ASHRAE 90.1-2007 Appendix G states for baseline system types: "For laboratory spaces with a minimum of 5000 cfm of exhaust, use system type 5 or 7 that reduce the exhaust and makeup air volume to 50% of design values during unoccupied periods."
Should this statement be interpreted as if the sum of all lab exhaust on a particular system is greater than 5000 cfm or if an individual lab space is greater than 5000 cfm?

Our interpretation is that the 5000 cfm applies to the exhaust system not each space.
Any other opinions?

1. I don't know EnergyPro well enough to say.
2. Proposed is modeled as designed.
