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?

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

Hi Larry, Yes, operable windows can be used for multi-occupant spaces to comply with EQc6.2. You would just need to make sure that the window met the needs of the users of the multi-occupant space. For instance, if it was a conference room with a room divider or different programmatic needs then you would need to have an ability to have a variety of controls to suit the variable needs of that space. Windows would need to meet the same calculation requirements.
