Good afternoon. We are currently submitting templates for a University facility. Under this credit we decided to go with Option 1 (Zoning and Controls) (5 points only) but there is a little bit of confusion since there are some interior areas in the building that are out of the scope while the building still classifies as CI. Basically the question would be, how can we or should we demonstrate compliance of these areas? Should we submit a tentative zoning for these areas even though the sizing of the equipment do not reflect this info? or should we submit these areas as having one or two zones (depending on the closeness to natural lighting) even though it does not really show any type of energy optimization and the conditions might change in the future?

If the area is outside the scope of the CI project I don't think it needs to comply but maybe I am missing something.
