FAQs about EQc5 :

Can I exempt a public space from the controls requirement? The owner doesn’t want visitors adjusting the thermostat all the time.

I have a naturally ventilated office with lots of operable windows. Do I need to add any other controls?

Does V4 still allow the CBE tool as a form of documentation for LO?

Hi Sara, I asked around and to the best of our collective knowledge the CBE tool is still acceptable for documenting ASHRAE 55. But, looking at the CBE tool online, it looks like it confirms compliance with ASHRAE 55-2017 while this credit references ASHRAE 55-2010.

Thank you, I will submit an inquiry to GBCI regarding 2010 vs 2017 and post the response here.

This is late to the game, but the 2010 version of the tool is here - http://www.cbe.berkeley.edu/research/tct-ashrae55/.
