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

Minimum window size

We have an office area with multiple workstations and several small windows that individually do not meet the 4% size requirement of ASHRAE 62.1-2007. Is it possible to "combine" two windows and count them as one control for one workstation as long as that workstation is within the maximum distance to both windows and the combined opening size is at least 4% of the net occupiable area?

Sounds doubtful to me. Getting people to operate windows is hard enough, and in this case they'll need to do two windows to get an effective area.

I think you would need to submit a CIR to have a certain answer to this question.
