Query
The project is a mixed-use building (both AC and Non AC) in moderate climate. Benchmark EPI values for air-conditioned buildings (commercial and residential); and for non-air-conditioned buildings (Table 14.4 specifies benchmark EPI for all climate zones including moderate climate) are provided in the GRIHA Manual. Kindly provide the EPI value for a mixed use building in moderate climate.
Solution
Please refer to the revised EPI as mentioned in GRIHA version 3.1.

Residential buildings have a single EPI. They are by default partly AC and partly non-AC
