This KBCN relates to industrial assessment targeting the ‘Passive Design’ credit in Ene 04.
Specific note 2.1 in Ene 04 states:
Industrial
Hea 04 Thermal comfort: Criterion 1 is not applicable to industrial units that only contain an operational or storage area and are without office space or other occupied spaces. However, to achieve the Ene 04 Passive design analysis credit, compliance with criteria 1, 2 and 3.b.ii in Hea 04 Thermal comfort must be demonstrated.
This is incorrect. It should say:
Hea 04 Thermal comfort: This issue is not applicable to industrial units that only contain an operational or storage area and are without office space or other occupied spaces.
If the industrial asset is Shell Only without any occupied spaces, this specific note 2.1 overrides specific note 1.2 regarding thermal modelling requirements for Shell Only assets.
This will be clarified and corrected in the next re-issue of the manual.
