Revision history [back]

I've been searching and searching and can't find any specific section (Mandatory or Prescriptive) that prohibits mechanical cooling for exterior spaces. I can think of dozens of reasons why it's a bad idea. But it just seems incredible that energy codes don't address this.

Am I missing something? I would be overjoyed if someone finds something that says this is not permitted.

I've been looking in the following codes IECC 2012 ASHRAE 90.1-2010 California Energy Code 2013
