Hi, I have two short questions: 1. Would an IT Room require a minimum ventilation rate if it is an infrequently occupied space? Technicians will enter the room only if they suspect a piece of equipment is not working properly - probably a couple of times a day, for less than 20 minutes each time. 2. In case it does, would the IT Room be categorized as an "Electrical Equipment Room" in Table 6-1 of Standard 62.1-2007? Thanks for your help!

Typically an IT Room would not be considered a regularly occupied space, therefore no need to include it in your calculations.

Dylan, Does this mean that IEQp2 only applies to regularly occupied areas? Thanks.

Not necessarily. You need to comply with ASHRAE's requirements for regularly occupied spaces - not LEED's modified definition.

Would a stairwell that is used for circulation of people into and out of the project space, not just emergency egress, need to be included in the calcs for IEQ p1? It really doesn't meet the LEED definition of regularly occupied spaces.
