Hi Craig,

Air temperature is a measure of cooling or warming from the surrounding air that contacts your skin. Radiant temperature is a measure of cooling or warming from one surface/object/person to another.

FAQs about EQc3:

What’s up with the ISO and CEN standards? Is the credit implementation easier using one of these standards?

Rating System correction ID# 100002197 removes language about thermal comfort design and thermal comfort control from the Requirements section. How does this impact my project?

What happened to the IEQ Space Matrix that was available to version 2009 projects? What should I reference to determine how spaces in my building should be categorized for this credit?

What type of measurement instrument do we need to use to monitor radiant temperature in occupied spaces?

The LEED Reference Guide states that we need to have at least one temperature sensor in each thermal zone with occupied spaces. What defines a thermal zone for this credit?

Where should I place humidity sensors?

Our building is served by both mechanical and natural ventilation systems. How does that impact our approach to this credit?

My project is a hotel. Can we get credit for guest room thermostats?

The credit form shows checkboxes for trend graphs (air temperature and humidity) and periodic measurements (air speed and radiant temperature). Do I need to provide supporting documentation for these items?
