FAQ F-00064
Can unconditioned warehouse spaces be excluded from Air Permeability Performance Testing?

Yes.  Projects may exclude unconditioned warehouse areas from airtightness testing requirements in the Commissioning and Tuning criteria from Green Star Buildings v1, or the credit criterion 2.2.3 Air Permeability Performance Testing from Green Star - Design & As Built, where these warehouse spaces are not conditioned by any equipment.

All other spaces, including offices or refrigerated warehouse spaces are considered as conditioned spaces and are considered applicable to the credit criterion.
