Appropriate Zoning and Controls Questions

We have an open office VAV project that is only pursuing the "Appropriate Zoning and Controls" portion of Option 1. I just had a few questions regarding how different space types are handled: Copy Rooms (> 85 sqft): Do these rooms need their own active control? Are they compliant if the active controls and VAV box are intended for an adjacent conference room, but the copy room simply has a supply diffuser? Storage Rooms: Similarly, is it sufficient that these rooms simply have a supply diffuser that provides air based upon the active controls in an adjacent private office? Do they need to be zoned separately? Quiet Zones: We are planning on active controls in these spaces, which serve as a larger "enclosed" office for upwards of eight people. Are active controls necessary here? Thanks for the help! Patrick

I do not think that a very small copy room or storage necessarily needs separate controls. Not sure about the quiet zones, sounds like they probably do.
