Did anyone had ever to explain to the reviewers discrepancy between the area documented in IEQp1 and the total area in PIf3? We had 33% of the total area that were NOT documented in IEQp1. Which is quite a lot and we are now listing all the unoccupied spaces in our response: - this project is a manufacturing plant with large inactive and unoccupied areas that represent 20% of the total area. - There are "unfinished spaces" that are unoccupied and represent 3% of the total area We are dealing with a remaining of 10% that represent elevators, stairs for egress, small mechanical shaft and rooms etc... We are unsure if a 10% discrepancy is ok? has anyone had experience with this type of comment?

Yes, I have listed all of the space in the building that were not included in the calculation and then demonstrated that the left over discrepancy area is walls and such since PIf3 is gsf and EQp1 is nsf. Explain it clearly and you will be fine.

Thanks Andrew, do you remember the difference in % you had between gsf and nsf?

I think it was around 5%.
