CS-2009 EAp2: Minimum Energy Performance
We are working on a small retail store 18,000 sqft and we are considering pursuing the prescriptive compliance path AEDG (option 2) to meet EAp2. We fall under zone four which has a 3% skylight recommendation.
Our current design does not include any skylights, are we required to include skylights in our design to meet the prerequisite?
