Building Area Classification |
|
|---|---|
|
Applicability |
When the whole building area method is used instead of the space-by-space method of classifying activity in the building |
|
Definition |
The building type or principal activity. One of two available classification methods for identifying the function of the building or the functions of spaces within the building, which in turn determine energy-related requirements for the baseline building. Appendix B lists the building classifications that are available under the building area method. |
|
Units |
List: Choose a building activity from Appendix B or select “Space-by-Space” if the space-by-space method is used. |
|
Input Restrictions |
For multi-use buildings, the building may be divided and a different building classification may be assigned to each part. Either the building classification method or the space-by-space classification method must be used, but the two classification methods may not be mixed within a single rating. |
