FAQs about IEQc7.1 :

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).

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

NC-2009 IEQc7.1:Thermal Comfort—Design

LEED Online 3.0 form

The IEQc7.2 Cooling Mode table asks for the Design Operative Temperature, Maximum Design Humidity and Design Air Speed for the four seasons (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter). Is it OK to complete only the Summer values? Thanks in advance.

No - you need to account for all four seasons. This is one of the main objectives of the credit - to make sure that part-load conditions are being considered and addressed. Humidity control is sometimes difficult to achieve under part-load conditions.
