It seems simple enough to model the existing building based on ASHRAE 90.1 standards.

I have a cabinet manufacturer customer who has a 100,000sf metal building that is roughly 30% wood working or manufacturing, 65% warehouse storage and 5% office space. 95% of this facility is heated only. Do I have to include cooling in the baseline from ASHRAE 90.1 system 5 on appendix G, table G3.1.1.A?
