[Equest-users] Parking Garage - Window to Wall Ratio

[Nathan Miller via Equest-users]

Worth noting that depending on your climate, you may have conditioned spaces within the garage.

For example, you may have stairwells, elevator lobbies, or back-of-house spaces that have heating. If they meet the requirements of conditioned space, the exposed walls, roofs, and floors show up in the thermal envelope of the building, and any wall that does-not-contact dirt (ie- the walls between a conditioned space and the ambient garage) WOULD count toward your window-to-wall ratio calcs.

I would say no. The space for sure isn't conditioned. And if it is underground, a double no.

Hi, if the parking garage is part of a high rise, does the surface area count towards the overall window to wall ratio calculation?
