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

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

how to calculate 50% occupants

We are working on a higher education project which is made up of mostly multioccupant spaces. We have 30 workstations in an open office as well. Those work stations will not have individual control. We would have to provide an underfloor system to achieve 50% of the workstations and the cost to provide that is not going to be considered by the owner. However all the multioccupant spaces (classrooms) have control. So if we calculate this using all the occupants, the workstations will be less than 10% of the overall occupant load. Does anyone have any opinions on whether this would be acceptable to achieve this credit.

Michael, this would not be accepted. Here the description of how to do the calculations for this credit from the LEED Ref Guide: "Identify workstations intended for individual use, such as private offices, open-plan workstations... confirm that 50% or more of individuals occupying these location have at least 1 means of individual control over thermal comfort." Basically, you don't get to count the total occupant load of the build. Just the occupants in workstations.
