Query

What all spaces need to comply (Regular & Non-regular) for thermal comfort in criterion 14 (GRIHA Version 3)? Do service areas also need to comply?

Solution

Compliance must be demonstrated for all spaces with regular human occupation. Spaces like electric rooms, parking, fire escape staircases, shafts, parking etc. are exempted from comfort calculations. A project specific discussion with GRIHA Council is usually done in unique cases to ensure proper course of action.
