Hi Claudia, for restroom needs to comply with Table 4-Minimum Exhaust Rates. That means the exguast rate of restroom will be no less the rates in Table 4.

Hi Carrie, thank you for the answer. But how it is possible to take that in consideration in the on-line Template for IEQ-pr.1? This Prerequisite refers to the "Ventilation Rate Procedure". It calculates "the design outdoor air intake flow (Vot)" and that has nothing to do with the exhaust air, isn´t it? So, I think that in this Prerequisite you should take in consideration only the supply air, isn´t it? Thank you very much.

Hi Claudia, For some rooms, as showed in ASHRAE 62.1-2007 Table 6-4, the designer should consider the exhaust rates. The Prerequisite not only requires the supply air, but also the exhaust air for some spaces, e.g. toilets. You could find some help in the following website: http://green.harvard.edu/theresource/leed-submit/nc/ Hope this will help.
