We have a project which has a big " function" area . this particular area is for employees to hang out + meet up with customers + briefing area (with a formal meeting table, projectors). do we need to install an occupancy sensor in this area? This space is about 1900 SF.

Jason, it sounds like your multi-purpose room will require an occupancy sensor based on ASHRAE 90.1-2007 Section 9.4.1.2 Space Control.

Jason, if your "function" area is enclosed by ceiling-height partitions and is classified as a classroom, conference/meeting room, or employee lunch/break room, and you're following the 90.1-2007 compliance path for LEED 2009, you'll need an occupancy sensor in that space (unless the function space has multi-scene lighting control).
