# Energy 3.1 Carpark Ventilation
# Applies to
Multi-residential, non-residential and mixed-use developments
# Objective
Ensure the efficient use of energy, reduce total operating greenhouse gas emissions and to reduce energy peak demand.
# Summary
Points are awarded if the building has an enclosed car park that is either:
- (a) fully naturally ventilated (no mechanical ventilation system), or
- (b) if the car park is 40 car spaces or less, uses Carbon Monoxide monitoring to control the operation and speed of the ventilation fans
If the development does not have an enclosed car park then this credit is 'Not applicable' and should be scoped out.
# Documentation & evidence required
- Provide a written explanation of either the fully natural ventilation or carbon monoxide monitoring, describing how these systems will work, what specifications are required for them to be fully integrated and who is responsible for their implementation throughout the design, procurement and operational phases of the building's life.
- Note systems and specifications on plans
