Why are guestrooms excluded? It seems they should be in the same realm as dorm rooms or bedrooms. They typically help me get these credits for hospitality projects - are they excluded because they make things too easy?

Hi Ellen,
The note under the "notes and definitions" tab for hotel guest rooms is the following: "Hospitality spaces: hospitality (e.g. hotel/motel) guest rooms can be excluded from lighting and thermal comfort controls." My feeling is that this means that they can be excluded but can also be included if you like and if you think it helps your LEED submission.

If I understand your response to this question, Hospitality guest rooms can be included or excluded from IEQc8.1? The matrix clearly states that Hotel guest rooms are included.

Hi Gary,
For EQc6.1 and EQc6.2 the IEQ Space Matrix's comment under the "Notes and Definitions" tab would apply: "Hospitality spaces: hospitality (e.g. hotel/motel) guest rooms can be excluded from lighting and thermal comfort controls."
You are correct that for EQc8,1 they are included.

That makes sense, in a way. Thanks for the clarification Lauren!

So if you choose to include them for IEQc6.1 and 6.2 do you count each room as one workstation? Or do you need to have multiple workstations in each room?
