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

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

Thermostats control temp +/-2 degrees and are locked

Is that meeting the criteria? The individual people would have to have the key.

Hi Kasandra, The Reference Guide and CIRs do not address this issue specifically. However, I would ask you if you think the scenario reinforces the credit's intent? If you think it does then you should be able to make a clear case to your reviewer. I see two parts to your question. There is the question around providing a limited temperature range and a question around having a locked thermostat. Personally, I am more concerned about the thermostat being locked. Why is it locked if you want to encourage controllability? How would people gain access to a key? If there is a new employee how do they know they can ask for a key? The real intent is to allow for employes to have access and ability to make temperature adjustments and a lock seems to work against this goal. Is there a lock because you have a variety of occupants, with only some occupants for which it would make sense to have control? I would be clear on if you think you're meeting the intent. If you think you are then I think you will be able to set yourself up for success with a clear narrative.

Thank You for the response. The building is a government building and they are requiring locked thermostats. They would have to assure the key would be given to the occupant otherwise I don't see how the credit would be achieved. One other thing. I keep seeing about a narrative. the LEED online forms aren't showing that. When do you write narratives?
