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?

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

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

Residential Building

Hi, We are working on a condo project where the residential units have a space called "Living Area". This "Living Area" includes living room, dining room & kitchen, with one shared thermal control. The reviewer's comment is "It appears that not all shared multi-occupant spaces have been included in the form (such as kitchens in the residential units). Please provide a revised form to confirm that all shared multi-occupant spaces have been included in the form." We already put "living room" in the form. Can we just add "kitchen" to the form with the same "# of Spaces with Controls" as the "living room"? Or do the kitchens need separate thermal controls? Please advise. Thank you.

That sounds a little convoluted—I would try emailing your reviewer to clarify, including a note in your narrative, and/or relabeling the entry on the form as Living/Kitchen/Dining.

Per the IEQ Space Matrix, you need to only have one thermal control per residential unit to meet the requirements. That comes from cell U6 of the BD+C tab of the July 2012 version of the IEQ SpaceMatrix.
