FAQs about IEQc6.2 :

In some areas, individual fan coil units can be adjusted through the BMS, which can be accomplished by the occupant phoning the building manager. As each unit can be controlled, is this sufficient for occupant controllability? A benefit is that the BMS ca

I’m working on a project that has transient occupants. How does the IEQ space matrix address transients, and are transients required to have access to the controls?

Do I have to include all individual and multi-occupant spaces and do they have to be consistent across IEQc6.1 and IEQc6.2?

The categories given in the IEQ space matrix don’t really fit how some of the rooms in my project will be used. What should I do?

CI-2009 IEQc6.2:Controllability of Systems—Thermal Comfort

Control on a Store

I'm trying to certify a store under CI, not CI Retail. How would I control the temperature of more than 50% of the space, if the space is my practically my entire shop? Should I provide a manual control (that only my employees can access) to control the temperature? On the other hand, the only workstations that I have are the cashiers, and under IEQ C6.1 I'm providing lightning control for those spaces and not for the rest. I believe this might be inconsistent. Can you help?

Hi Romina, You have to have consistency in your designations between EQc6.1 and EQc6.2 so make sure those match. Can you provide thermal comfort controls for the cashiers? It may not be practical, in which case the point itself may not make sense for your project. The requirement is not that 50% of your space have controls but that 50% of your individual workstations have individual controls and that 100% of your multi-occupant spaces have controllability. Alternatively, you could reference LEED for Retail in your LEED-CI project application to indicate to the reviewer that you are using the approach for LEED for Retail. I have done this before and have had success with this approach but I cannot guarantee that this would work for your application. Let me know if this helps a bit...

Thanks Lauren, that helps a lot. I didn't know you can reference to Retail credits, although you are not under that Rating System.
