FAQs about IEQc7.1 :

There are a few spaces in my project that can’t meet these requirements. Can’t I just exclude them?

ASHRAE-55 comfort criteria ask for space air speed. Is this the same as the supply air volume measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM)?


What should I do about a warehouse space?

How can thermal conditions for areas with metabolic rates outside of 1.0–1.3 be determined? (Per ASHRAE Standard 55-2004 Section 5.2.1.1, Figure 5.2.1.1 can be used for areas with metabolic rates between 1.0 and 1.3).

Inactive storage

I have read the definition of inactive storage in the space-matrix spreadsheat. However, it is not clear to me if I can consider a storage space that is used once a week as "inactive storage". Thank you

By the name "inactive storage" it sounds like it can be excluded. You should look at what kind of activity and occupancy occurs when it is "used once a week", and confirm that it is not a regularly occupied space.

Thanks Christopher, they take aggregate material out of this room to make concrete strength tests.

You'll need to make a better argument than that if you want to exclude the space. "they" - how many people? How long are they in there? How often? You need to prove that the space is not "regularly occupied". The definition of regularly occupied is an area "where workers are seated or standing as the work inside a building". If it is part of someone's regular job to spend time inside this room it is "regularly occupied" and must be included.
