Office floors have one system per floor and the first floor has three systems for each specific area. My baseline is using system 6 for the typical office floors. I am trying to interpret the G3.1.1 for the first floor. If I combine all those areas into one system their occupancy schedules, HVAC schedules, OA rates etc are all different and if I use one system, the schedules will not match the proposed. The kitchen qualifies for exception b due to thermal loads, so I will use a single zone system for that area. I am wondering how I should approach the gym and cafeteria. Can I use two systems in the baseline for those areas? They do not fall into exception b since their schedules and loads do not differ significantly from other spaces (office spaces) but they do differ from each other and using one system for those two different usage areas brings the dilemma of using a different schedule from the proposed building. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Any insights will be greatly appreciated.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><br clear=all><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Regards,<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Beran<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></div></div></div></div><div><div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:7.0pt'><hr size=2 width="100%" align=center></span></div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:7.0pt'>RWDI - A Platinum Member of Canada's 50 Best Managed Companies</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:7.0pt'> <br>This communication is intended for the sole use of the party to whom it was addressed and may contain information that is privileged and/or confidential.
