Residential Living Spaces #777

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

Supriya (and Team),

I am working on Building Envelope Requirements and I need to confirm that the 
following list of spaces will be considered "Residential". I believe we have 
other rules that also look at this Residential condition so I will add a flag 
to the SpaceGenereral.rule for "IsRes_S901G_2010" so other rule writers can 
call on the flag as needed.

Supriya, the following space names are from the spreadsheet you sent and fit 
into the 90.1 definition of Residential.  There does not seem to be a space for 
Highrise Residential Dwelling Units in the spreadsheet.  Should we add 
something to the spreadsheet?  Could you review this list and see if it matches 
the intentions of the PRM.

"Courthouse/Police Station/Penitentiary - Confinement Cells"
"Dormitory - Living Quarters"
"Fire Stations - Sleeping Quarters"
"Hospital - Nursery"
"Hospital - Patient Room"
"Hotel/Highway Lodging - Hotel Guest Rooms"
"Hotel/Highway Lodging - Highway Lodging Guest Rooms"

For classification of residential/nonresidential, I'd like to propose we just 
add a 90.1 specific rule to the Spc:OccClass term.  Adding a new flag would 
mean other rules that currently reference OccClass would need to be revised to 
point to this new flag.

Also, I recommend the terminology for the new space function not be specific to 
"high-rise", rather more general as "Residential Dwelling Unit" or something 
like that since 90.1 covers 4+ story multifamily.  In the eQUEST 90.1 ruleset, 
it is "Living Spaces (multi-family)", but I am not crazy about that either, 
though it does make it more general since 'Dwelling Unit' and 'Sleeping Unit' 
are both residential spaces but have different meaning.

Noah,

The list looks good.
- Attached - updated Appendix 3.4A which lists the space conditioning category 
for all 90.1 space types.
- Added to this list is 'High-Rise Residential Dwelling Unit', which 
essentially is a 'Dwelling Unit' for multi-family buildings. 

Also added to the PRM, a definition for Space Conditioning Categories, under 
3.3.1 Thermal Zones, General Information.
Space Conditioning Category-
Separate exterior building envelope requirements are specified for each of 
three categories of conditioned space: (a) nonresidential conditioned space, 
(b) residential conditioned space, and (c) semiheated space.
-   Non Residential Space Conditioning Category
All occupancies other than residential.
-   Residential space conditioning categories-
Spaces in buildings used primarily for living and sleeping. Residential spaces 
include, but are not limited to, dwelling units, hotel/motel guest rooms, 
dormitories, nursing homes, patient rooms in hospitals, lodging houses, 
fraternity/ sorority houses, hostels, prisons, and fire stations.
-   Semiheated
See thermal space type definition above.

David,
I agree with the proposed terminology revision. I've added the space type as 
'Dwelling Unit' at present.
I can see how 'Sleeping Unit' for hotels might be confused with 'Dwelling 
Units' for multifamily. Should we rename this to 'Residential Dwelling Units'?

Any other suggestions?

'Dwelling Unit' is definitiely consistent with 90.1 terminology, but it would 
not fit with a lot of multifamily development that is going on in large cities 
like San Francisco and Seattle where there are apartments being built with no 
permanent provisions for cooking.

How about the SpcFunc designation of 'Dwelling/Sleeping Unit'? This would cover 
the two main residential occupancies that are in the IBC.

Sounds good.

Attached- revised Appendix 3.4 A using this terminology.
