FAQs about IEQc7.1 :

ASHRAE-55 comfort criteria ask for space air speed. Is this the same as the supply air volume measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM)?


What should I do about a warehouse space?

How can thermal conditions for areas with metabolic rates outside of 1.0–1.3 be determined? (Per ASHRAE Standard 55-2004 Section 5.2.1.1, Figure 5.2.1.1 can be used for areas with metabolic rates between 1.0 and 1.3).

There are a few spaces in my project that can’t meet these requirements. Can’t I just exclude them?

Dear all, Which software tools are accepted by the USGBC, other than the ASHRAE Comfort Tool (priced at $117)? Is the tool from Climate Consultant listed under the Resources Tab accepted? What about the Thermal Comfort online tool developed by CBE Berkeley (http://www.cbe.berkeley.edu/comforttool)? Many thanks!

USGBC does not officially "accept" any software tools. If the tools listed are used correctly, they can perform the analysis required by the credit.
