FAQs about 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

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?

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

pursuing thermal confort in a museum/gallery

Our team is pursuing this credit for a museum/art galleries building. I´ve been checking the IAQ matrix and if I am strict, we should forget this credit. However, I´ve been reading some comments of this forum and I really don´t know/understand the specific scope of this credit just for this project. We do have thermal control in the most of the places that are occupied for FTEs, but are these controls, indeed, necessary in the main art galleries (galleries with up to more 700 people with visit average time of maybe less than an hour)? We also have a quite small auditorium (300 seats) that could be use once per week (even less)....... Trying to put myself in USGBC´s place, I would understand that the scope is not that 700 people handle the thermal controls (the same for audience in a concert.....). Could anyone help me to know the occupants who are in the scope of this credit? (1 Auditorium) (1 common office space with a personal office) (4 classrooms to develop different activities by the client) (2 art galleries (a common space for the shop and bar/restaurant) Thanks a lot!!

Hi Angel, I apologize for my delay. In reviewing the IAQ Matrix it's clear that a lot of these spaces that you mentioned (auditorium, art galleries, etc.) are considered multi-occupant spaces and therefore you just need to provide controls to meet the need of the space, and not provide individual controls for each person. How many people work in your common office space? That would be the area I would be a bit more concerned about because you would need to treat each of those desks and individual occupant spaces.
