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?

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?

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

We have a total of 2385 individual spaces and to provide thermostats for 50% of these is required to score a point. which means is it that we are required to provide 1193 numbers of thermostats? so typically, one thermostat for every 2 people. Is there a lot of projects that do this. i personally have not seen one thermostats for every 2 workstations. Is provision of thermal diffuser an alternative option? if the answer is yes, will we be able to score a point just by provision of thermal diffuser at all these individual work spaces?

We have used thermal diffuser with thermostats on projects in the past with success. This would probably be a pretty heavy price tag on a project of your size (for one point). This credit is more applicable to rewarding projects with certain types of HVAC systems that easily allow for individual control. Eg: Natural Ventilation systems, Underfloor Air Distribution, etc.
