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

Hi
The credit defines comfort

Hi The credit defines comfort according to the four primary comfort criteria identified by ASHRAE 55-2004: air temperature radiant temperature humidity air speed. A comfort control meeting the credit requirements needs to only address one of these four. For Humidity, If we provide indivisual humidifier that normaly use in home per desk, is it acceptable? (just like task lighting) Thank you ~

Hi Sung Su, I haven't seen this done before but I do think you could meet the credit requirements in this way especially if your project is in a location with high humidity. You would just need to make sure that at least 50% of your individual workstations have access to these controls. Also, don't forget the multi-occupant spaces. Those spaces would need to have general thermal comfort criteria controls. Just for my edification, what is the name of the individual humidifier that you're specifying? How is it installed, etc?

I mean that the most common humidifier, an "evaporative", "cool mist", or "wick humidifier", consists of just a few basic parts: a reservoir, wick and fan. I think it can be installed by putting on the indivisual desk. Please refer to this link --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humidifier Thank you Lauren~~~
