In the service bay area (Non-densely occupied space garage) we have a Vehicle Exhaust Removal system AIRVAC911 to maintain air quality and radiant slab heating to condition the space during the winter. The space is naturally ventilated, requiring the occupants to open bay doors as needed to provide ventilation. My questions are:
Is providing a CO2 Sensor enough for this type application since we have a Vehicle Exhaust Removal system? Do we need to provide some other means of ventilation such as a Fan/Louver combo providing x amount of air changes per hour in addition to the CO2 sensor?

Your first question really depends on your design. If you meet all natural ventilation requirements then you are fine for LEED purposes of ventilation. As for this credit, you only need to add CO2 sensors for any naturally ventilated space. Mechanically ventilated spaces are different.
