According to the IEQ Space Matrix posted in November of 2011, under Educational Facilities, Gymnasiums may be be excluded from both EQc8.1 and EQc8.2. The kitchen must be included in the calculations.
I do not agree with this and whole heartedly and believe that gymnasiums should be required to be in 8.1 and should be daylit. I can see them be excluded for 8.2.
