90.1 - Occupancy Classification of a Space #850

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

Supriya and Mike,

Please verify that the below condition is acceptable for the 90.1 ruleset.

Currently in CBECC-Com the Occupancy Classification of a space is set based on 
the SpaceFunction.  So for example, if the SpcFunc = "Hotel Guest Room" then 
the OccClass = "Residential", and if the SpcFunc = "Office - Open Plan" then 
the OccClass = "Nonresidential".  

If a SpcFunc = "Unoccupied-Include/Exclude in Gross Floor Area" then the 
default OccClass = "Nonresidential", but if the adjacent spaces have a 
predominant OccClass = "Residential" then the OccClass of the space with the 
SpcFunc = "Unoccupied-Include/Exclude in Gross Floor Area" is changed to 
"Residential".

This means that if there is an indirectly conditioned elevator shaft with one 
exterior wall and two walls adjacent to "Hotel Guest Rooms" then the exterior 
wall construction assembly of the elevator shaft will be Residential.

Let me know if this approach works for the 90.1 ruleset.

Why would a space excluded from the gross floor area? 
I think your assignment of residential vs. non-residential makes sense.
