fans have to ramp up in a parking garage. When cars arrive, they are running
hot and are barely emitting CO, so for an office building parking garage there
might not even be much of a morning uptick. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">Hi Greg,<br>
<br>
When I did it way back, I created a schedule to reflect the reduction. My
thinking was along these lines: the baseline schedule would reflect the
occupancy schedule, ie the normal coming and going of people in the building;
the proposed schedule would have a high % when people arrived, go to a min
level for awhile, have another high % at lunch, go to another min lovel for
awhile and then another high % when they left. This all depends on what your
building type/usage is, of course, and requires sound engineering judgment to
do a good job. Document all assumptions, like cars emit CO when they are
running not when they are parked, and when the reviewer asks why say
"because I said so". Oh sorry, don't say that, just provide your
assumptions.<br>
<br>
If you need further assistance, let me know.<br>
<br>
Good night, <br>
<br>
