FAQs about EQc3 :

The credit form shows checkboxes for trend graphs (air temperature and humidity) and periodic measurements (air speed and radiant temperature). Do I need to provide supporting documentation for these items?

My project is a hotel. Can we get credit for guest room thermostats?

Our building is served by both mechanical and natural ventilation systems. How does that impact our approach to this credit?

Where should I place humidity sensors?

The LEED Reference Guide states that we need to have at least one temperature sensor in each thermal zone with occupied spaces. What defines a thermal zone for this credit?

What type of measurement instrument do we need to use to monitor radiant temperature in occupied spaces?

What happened to the IEQ Space Matrix that was available to version 2009 projects? What should I reference to determine how spaces in my building should be categorized for this credit?

Rating System correction ID# 100002197 removes language about thermal comfort design and thermal comfort control from the Requirements section. How does this impact my project?

What’s up with the ISO and CEN standards? Is the credit implementation easier using one of these standards?

How would one install data loggers to track thermal comfort in a dormitory?

We have installed the data loggers, but they are stand alone and are not connected to an alarm system. Could it be possible to achieve the credit by implementing a protocol that requires a constant review of the data which is then submitted to facilities to address any possible issue?

Hi Patricia, The rating system and reference guide language related to the alarm makes it seem to me that the intent is for the alarm to be automatic, rather than based on manual review of the data. Could the data loggers that you have indicate some sort of alarm, like a flashing light, if the conditions get outside of the acceptable range?
