Things might get hairy if you're only heating or only cooling (I believe the other would need to match the baseline serving the rest of the floor/building, as may apply). I'd only suggest that requiring heating/cooling of parking garages in all climates seems odd for an energy efficiency standard - you'd have to explain that one to me ;).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#002060'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#002060'>If you do have heating and/or cooling for a parking garage design, I'd personally stick with points #1/#2 above and simply model such energies as a process load alongside any mechanical ventilation systems, identical in both models. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#002060'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#002060'>I personally use eQuest, and prefer to model parking garages as simply as a series of building shades with a series of process/lighting loads attached directly to the meter.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#002060'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#002060'>All this is my take on the situation.

In addition the definition of "ventilation" is "the process of supplying or removing air by natural or mechanical means to or from any space. Such air is not required to have been conditioned." Since the air is not required to be conditioned then the air can or cannot be conditioned, does that mean that any parking garage conditioned or unconditioned is not considered an enclosed space? If that is true then how do you model a parking garage since all spaces are defined as being enclosed?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>Richard Auffermann<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>Design Engineer<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>DAGHER ENGINEERING, PLLC<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>29 Broadway, New York, NY 10006<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>T. 212.480.2591 x122<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>F. 212.480.2654<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>rauffermann@dagherengineering.com<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>www.dagherengineering.com<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>Save Trees, Consider the Environment.
