FAQs about IEQc6.2 :

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?

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

Would a private 2-person office count as one space or 2 when calculating the 50%? i.e., if there is one adjustable wall-mounted thermostat in an office with 2 occupants and 2 desks, is that 100% of the individual spaces, or 50% of the individual spaces that have temp control? thanks!

Erica, I believe the word "space" is confusing the situation. "Spaces" is in regards to multi-person spaces. Building occupants is the other measurement regarding the 50% rule. An office space that is intended to have two people full time should be considered as 1 room with 2 occupants. You'd get a 50% value for 1 temperature control in that room. Just an additional clarification, an office that might have 3 people shown on the plans - one desk and computer, but two extra chairs for visitors would be considered 1 occupant. The other occupants are transient and not considered full time.

Yes, definitely the word "space".... and the examples they use in the reference guide, and the way the LEED Form is set up. 2 desks = 2 spaces/occupants is always how I've calculated it previously, but then I think I started to confuse myself. :P Thanks!
