Would a curtain wall be considered exterior wall or glazing for this credit? Thanks!

I have the same issue with a curtainwall storefront entrance. Any guidance? If it matters, it gets demolished to accommodate a new addition. Thanks

Hi Sara and Janice,
Sorry for the delayed response. If you have not already submitted, typically items like this that could fall either way is to be selected by the design team and should just remain consistent in your calculations. If you have not already, I'd recommend visiting the calculator tools in the Documentation Toolkit. These ask for Exterior wall area (minus windows) and therefore my recommendation is to classify curtain wall as glazing for a storefront application. As for large curtainwall projects, I will respond to Sara's previous comment.
If you have submitted already and received feedback from GBCI, please do share your results.
