[Bldg-sim] FWR and walls adjacent unconditioned space

[Chris Jones]

I am not sure how glazing in walls adjacent unconditioned spaces 
counts towards the building FWR.

For example, I am looking at a MURB.  The main floor is part covered 
parking, unconditioned space, the second floor is over the parking 
area.  There is a conditioned corridor that runs beside the 
parkade.  The wall along this corridor has windows looking into the 
parking area.

1.  Does this glass count towards the building fenestration-wall-ratio?
2.  For prescriptive purposes, is this glass considered as "wall 
adjacent an unconditioned space"? Or is it considered glazing?
