Hi,
Do elevators halls need to be vefified for thermal comfort?,
My understanding is that they are "not regularly occupied" spaces, so they don´t, please I will appreciatte any discussion on this affirmation,
Thank you

Hi Paula!
I don't think it is necessary to ventilate for thermal comfort per say, but you should check the ventilation requirement as per ASHRAE 62.1 for circulations.

Hi Gabriela,
Thank you for your response,
We did, we are supplying fresh air in rates calculated by ASHRAE 62.1, but this outdoor air is not cooled nor heated,
So, we can say we are ok with IEQ_c7.1?

No, it seems you also need to comply with the thermal comfort requirement for this space also. I recommend you download a tool called SpaceMatrix, and there you can see what requirements apply to each space.
