FAQs about IEQc7.1 :

There are a few spaces in my project that can’t meet these requirements. Can’t I just exclude them?

ASHRAE-55 comfort criteria ask for space air speed. Is this the same as the supply air volume measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM)?


What should I do about a warehouse space?

How can thermal conditions for areas with metabolic rates outside of 1.0–1.3 be determined? (Per ASHRAE Standard 55-2004 Section 5.2.1.1, Figure 5.2.1.1 can be used for areas with metabolic rates between 1.0 and 1.3).

NC-2009 IEQc7.1:Thermal Comfort—Design

ASHRAE Thermal Comfort Tool version 2

The ASHRAE Thermal Comfort Tool V2 software is based on ASHRAE 55-2010, but LEED-2009 uses 55-2004. Does anyone know if the comfort tool software output is accepted for this credit even though it is based on 2010?

I'm also curious about this. I'm working on a number of Canadian projects and haven't been able to find feedback from US or Canadian users (or reviewers) regarding the acceptability of ASHRAE 55-2010 and the Thermal Comfort Tool v2 software in place of ASHRAE 55-2004. Does anyone here have any info?
