Indirectly Conditioned Space. An indirectly conditioned space has no heating or cooling system, but is indirectly heated or cooled due to its proximity to spaces that are heated or cooled. Two criteria can be applied to determine if a space is indirectly conditioned:
1. If the heat transfer rate to conditioned space is larger than the heat transfer rate to the exterior (ambient conditions), then the space is considered indirectly conditioned.
2. If there is an air transfer rate between the space and conditioned space that exceeds three air changes per hour (ACH), then the space is considered indirectly conditioned. Air transfer can be provided by natural or mechanical means.
