Regarding precedents for IEQ: Thermal Comfort Credit (namely, Radiant Thermal Comfort Control):
Is the provision of thermally adjustable wearables and chairs acceptable to fulfill this credit?
We are investigating the following options for occupants:
-A wristband device that delivers temperature sensations to your skin to provide temperature relief and thermal comfort.
-Office chairs that have adjustable heating and cooling capabilities.

Hi Sara,
For Thermal Comfort Credit, you have to meet the requirements for both Thermal Comfort Design and Thermal Comfort Control. In terms of Thermal Comfort Control, as long as your thermally adjustable wearable and chairs allow occupants to adjust at least one of the following in their local environment: air temperature, radiant temperature, air speed, and humidity, then it is supposed to be acceptable.
