because of stating an office ceases to be a “zone” at night… It’s
a terminology thing, but 62.1 and other standards will become more digestible
to you when you recognize that’s not the case. The clarification we’re
making here is that where a zone occupancy (i.e. “office”) is
decided and a constant over time, something like “occupancy rate”
can be variable.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

color:#1F497D'>I’d like to also point out, based on your first inquiry,
that the equation at 6.2.2.1 uses <u>maximum</u> zone occupancy to establish
the minimum design OA rate, not the hourly occupancy rate (which may be zero).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
