If a project which includes parking within the building has been modeled and can be analyzed in Zero Tool, use Zero Tool, entering parking as a secondary space type to arrive at a comparable average EUI. If the project has not been modeled or cannot be analyzed in Zero Tool, exclude the parking area from the total GSF.
For example, for a project consisting of a 150,000 sf office building with and separately includesthree parking types (open = 10,000, partially enclosed = 20,000, fully enclosed = 30,000), enter Office - Large as the first use type, with 150,000 sf, and then add Parking as the second use type with a square footage of 60,000. This will allow the parking to be reflected in the Baseline Energy Use calculation.
