Creating Baseline ΗVΑC system selection based on ΑSHRAE 90.1-2010 - Does Ground Floor count as….

Hello to all LEED Users,

Ιn our project the Building (nonresidential – 8.000 m2)  consists of following levels:

• Ground Floor
• 1^st Floor
• 2^nd Floor
• 3rd Floor
• 4^th Floor
• 5^th Floor

Are the levels considered as 6 Floors or 5 Floors?

Does Ground Floor count as a Floor?

So can I choose from Table G3.1.1A System 8 ( Nonresidential – more than 5 Floors – Electric)?

Thank you very much
