FAQs about IEQc6.1 :

How much controllability do I need for my multi-occupant space?

I included occupancy sensors to meet the controls requirement but my LEED reviewer indicated that they weren’t sufficient. Why is this?

In order to help meet IEQc6.1 for my individual occupants I am including task lighting. Does my task lighting need to be hard wired?

NC-2009 IEQc6.1:Controllability of Systems—Lighting

Apartment/Dorm

Reading the guidance and from past projects its always been pretty straightforward for showing compliance with an apartment or dorm when every room has an on/off switch. However, in the latest version of the template, on/off only applies to private offices. Would a dorm room or apartment be classified as private office or something else? If it has a living room, is that shared multi-occupant, or still under individual workspace? They are all 3-4 bedroom units.

Hi Tommy, I would assume that the Template is just limited in its functionality and that "individual workstations" are not now just limited to private offices. As is the case with many LEED Template issues, I would just explain your case very clearly in a narrative and include bedrooms under "individual workstations" or under the “on/off” area of the Template. I usually have the following designations for dorms or housing units. Do these align with what you’re thinking too? The following are “individual workstations”: Bedrooms Home Offices Multi-Occupant: Living Room Dining Room Kitchen Excluded: Bathrooms Closets

Tommy, Did you have any issue with documenting the apartment or dorm rooms as private offices? I am running into the same issue with my residential tower project, and want to verify we don't need to add lighting controls in the bedrooms. Regards, Crissy
