NC-2009 IEQc6.1:Controllability of Systems—Lighting

Multi-occupant Spaces Vs. Patients rooms

Hi, I´m managed a Healthcare buildings. The reviewer advice me that workstation and share multi-occupant spaces must be reported consistently among IEQc6.1 and IEQc6.2 credits. However, in IEQc6.1 LEED Template is necesary to differentiate between Patient Spaces, Staff Spaces and Multi-occupant Spaces. And in IEQc6.2 LEED Template is necesary to differentiate between Single-Occupant Patient Rooms, Work Spaces and Multi-occupant Spaces. The "v2009_IEQ Space Matrix_April 2015.xlsx" excel specifies Exam rooms as Multi-occupant Spaces. In IEQc6.1 LEED Template Exam Rooms are Patients Spaces, and in IEQc6.2 LEED Template Exam Rooms are Multi-occupant Spaces. So, the Multi-occupant Spaces are not reported consistently among IEQc6.1 and IEQc6.2 credits. How should I proceed to meet the LEED requirements? Thanks.

This is a good question and something I had faced before. I think the best advice would be to really clear with the GBCI and to provide a clear written narrative under both credits that highlights why there is a discrepancy. Make sure to cite the IEQ Space Matrix language directly so as to make it really clear to the reviewer.
