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?

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?

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

Multifamily: For a small unit, you may only need a single control—it can be a window or a thermostat. Most units will require a control in each bedroom and in the living room or other multi-occupant spaces. What constitutes as a small unit? This project is mainly 1BRs. All units have 1 thermostat and 1 operable window. Sometimes the thermostat and operable windows are both in the living/kitchen zone and there is no direct control within the bedroom space. Is this a problem?

Hi Mike, For residential units I find the IEQ Space Matrix to be especially helpful. According to the notes for IEQc6.2, there needs to be one thermal control located anywhere within the dwelling unit. If the unit is large enough to be split into multiple thermal zones it might make sense to add additional controls, but it is not necessarily a requirement for this LEED credit.
