FAQs about IEQc6.2 :

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

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?

I was wondering in order to comply with this credit, will we have to provide thermal controllability for 50% of the 7 cubicles or can we just consider it a multi-occupant space? Mind you, we have at least 44 other private offices that we are in fact meeting the 50% requirement. Its just these area that is in question. Thanks.

Hi Catalina, The requirement states that you need to meet the 50% requirement for all individual occupant spaces so you could add the cubicles to the private offices and ensure that (in total) you are meeting the 50% requirement. It sounds like you are. However, to specifically address your question about the medical records spaces I would say that the cubicles you've described do sound like workstations. Have you seen the Space Matrix? In it, for health care, the USGBC allows medical records to be excluded spaces so it's possible you could make a case for excluding those spaces. I think it would all be in how you defined those spaces.
