The LEED-NC 2009 EQc7.1 credit template asks us to document the Project Space Design Air Speed at 3 ft above the floor. According to ASHRAE 55, this should be a maximum of 40 FPM.

Our project is a car showroom in a location where no air conditioning nor heating is needed due to the mild clima throughout the year. This is an occupied, enclosed space.

The IEQc7.2 Cooling Mode table asks for the Design Operative Temperature, Maximum Design Humidity and Design Air Speed for the four seasons (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter).

We wish to pursue the credits IEQ 7.1 & 7.2 , the space is auditorium seating with a dance floor for Wedding .(Area - 5300 sq ft , Occupancy 370 People), having office spaces on other floors .

Dear All:- As of now we are using berkeley.edu/comfort tool for thermal comfort compliance for both A/c & Non A/c area But we use PMV method for A/c area and adaptive method for Non A/c area

I heard from someone in ASHRAE that the Standard 55 User's Manual is definitely in development and will be "coming soon". Hopefully it will be available later this year?

Hi, Two questions involving credit IEQ 7.1. 1- In Table IEQc7.1-2 cooling mode: when they ask for the design operative temperature in winter season what do they mean?

Hi, I have the annual hourly mean radiant temperature results (from the energy model simulation). I'm wondering what MRT you have used in the past if you have all of these figures?

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?
