[Bldg-sim] Definition of a University Dormitory - Residential or Non-Residential

[Dhayanandh Murugan]

Hi Maria,
The predominant condition is determined only by conditioned area not gross
floor area.I feel the common spaces such as corridors,stairs etc should be
considered as residential or non-residential depending space type/floor it
serves.If these common spaces such as corridors,stairs etc are
unconditioned then no problem it doesn't affect the baseline system
selection.
Baseline System Selection:
 If the conditioned area of both residential and non-residential space is
greater than 20,000sf then the project is eligible for G3.1.1 exceptions
a.Otherwise if either of the space type conditioned area is less than
20,000sf system selection is based on predominant conditioned area.

Cheers,
Dhayanandh
