We are working on a Recreation Center (Total SF 19,200), the gym is 7,200 and the rest of the building is made up of classrooms and other shared spaces.
All spaces are provided with enough windows for light and views.
However, since the gym is more than 50% of the building, I won't get IEQ8.1 and 8.2.
Are those credits by TOTAL area or by spaces. Because the gym is 1/15 regularly occupied rooms but it is 1/2 of the regular occupied AREA.
What would you do? Assign these credits by rooms or by area?
Do you have a tool to document this?
Thanks!

The gym must be included in EQc8.1 but can be excluded in EQc8.2, Refer to the Regularly Occupied Space Matrix.
The calculations are conducted by total area and would need include the square footage of the gym for EQc8.1 You will need to provide supplemental calcs removing the area of the gym for EQc8.2 since the total regularly occupied area noted in PIF2 is linked to EQc8.1 and EQc8.2. You need to use the Daylight and Views Calculator which can be downloaded from the resource tab in the online credit library.
