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

Ken, that's an inventive idea, but it seems unlikely to me. Exhaust hoods aren't designed to affect comfort at the workstation, and may have negligible or negative effect depending on the circumstances. Also, a key point with this credit is giving occupants control over their thermal comfort, but control of an exhaust hood, and whether it is on or off, is going to be a function of activity in the kitchen and ventilation needs, not occupant comfort.You could always try making the case for it, but I doubt LEED would permit it.
