Hello, Jeff Ross-Bain,<div><br></div><div>There is a baseline system type exception in Section G3.1.1. It lists three cases which shall model different with your major baseline system.</div><div><br></div><div>As the requirement of this section:</div>
<div>i)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>The area is larger than 1900 square meters (20,451.43 square feet)</div><div>ii)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>The space has a differ significantly from the rest of building</div>
<div>iii)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>The space has a special pressurization relationships, or cross-contamination requirements, or code-required minimum circulations rates</div><div><br></div>
<div>i) and iii) are unusual cases, in my opinion you should check the second exception case for your model.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Dec 30, 2010 at 10:54 PM, Jeff Ross-Bain <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jeff@rbgb.com">jeff@rbgb.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
