I have a 4-story dorm building where each dorm complies with paragraph 5.1 of ASHRAE 62.1-2007. Each room is conditioned with a 2-pipe valance unit and there is also a 200CFM kitchen hood in each unit and a 50CFM exhaust in each toilet room. The IEQc2 Compliance columns in Table IEQp1-A5 require the user to input Voz, which is defined as Vbz/Ez in the standard. What is the Ez for an open window? I am unclear what LEED would consider to be the design outdoor airflow in this case, the natural ventilation from the open window or the exhaust from the 24/7 kitchen and toilet room fans?
