Inquiry

Can spaces that fall outside of the scope of ASHRAE 55-2004, because the physical activity levels result in a time-averaged MET above 2.0 (such as gymnasiums or fitness centers), be excluded from the credit requirements? Also, can spaces that are not normally comfort conditioned (such as warehouse spaces, apparatus bays, vehicle repair facilities, commercial kitchens) be excluded from the credit requirements?
