Quality Selection Guide:

In addition to being an aid in selecting a building’s rank, the following indicates what is included in the interior space cost.  Note that 100% of the HVAC costs have been included in this occupancy.  If you allocated a prorated amount of the HVAC back to the shell cost, you should remove it from this interior space cost by selecting the appropriate HVAC component and entering an appropriate percentage of the total floor area (typically 80% to 90%).  For example, if you included 15% of the HVAC cost in the shell, you should enter 85% for the HVAC component in this occupancy.
