Would autopsy and associated support spaces be considered a lab space to be included on systems under G3.1.1 exception c requiring turn down at night? I ask because these same spaces in a hospital we don't apply G3.1.1 exception c or turn down. Wondering whether I can take credit in the proposed for turning down those spaces if not considered a lab in the baseline.

While not strictly a lab, I would say you could choose to apply G3.1.1 exception c (and the corresponding exception to G3.1.3.13) due to the similar nature and airflow requirements. However, if you do not consider them as labs, this does not allow you to take credit for the turn down. In this case the turn down would be modeled identically in the Baseline as the Proposed, unless you modeled the credit using an exceptional calculation where you would be required to defend the absence of the turn down as current standard practice.
