Dear Sir/Madam
We are certifying a large retail mall which have a large carpark block ( five levels). Some energy efficiency measures is present in the carpark block such as daylight sensors
However the MPR states that carparks are not included in LEED definition of GFA
However when we undertake the energy simulation, we have to include the carpark as part of GFA in order to run the simulation and to include the savings
Please advise. Thank you

No problem follow the MPR guidance for the building square footage and make sure you explain the difference in your EAp2 submission.
