Is it part of the requirement of this credit to monitor temperature and humidity in the space during the flush out - or is it sufficient to provide the temperature set points and calculate the resulting humidity? We have had reviewers asking for how temperature and humidity were verified during the flush out. Not all of our projects have BASs, but we could do temporary trend logging if required.

Nancy,
It may depend on the project reviewer. In some cases we have been able to prove based on outside conditions that the humidity and temperature in the space maintained within the 60%, 60F requirements. Temporary trend logging is the safest bet and may save the design team the potential of lost time due to answering LEED review comments.
If possible write verbiage into the commissioning contract or design documents that include temporary logging of temperature and humidity during the flush out as a requirement.

Dylan,
The credit also requires "log of dates, hours and recorded tempertures and humidity". This mean that the flush out report should include data every hour? one hour per day?. We wont to know the minimal periodicity of log data needed to comply this credit. There is a standard for this?
