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

The credit intent and application is very clear as stated above: "Private offices and open space offices need multiple controls for 50% of occupants. One control in each conference or meeting room." However, on the current version of LEED Online, Table IEQc6.2-1 is a bit confusing in terms of the information being asked for. Each row in the table consists of the following five columns: Space ID, Individual Workspace Type, Thermal Comfort Control Type, Total No. of Spaces, Spaces provided with individual control. To be in accordance with the credit intent, the last two columns should actually refer to "individual workspaces or workstations" in lieu of "spaces" as in "Space ID." Thus, instead of thermal controls in each space (such as Open Office), we should be inputting controls in individual workstations (such as individual cubicles). Is our assumption and interpretation correct?

Hi Jason, I agree that this Credit Form and its table is confusing! However, no matter what number you put into "Quantity" the ratio always come out 1:1. The reason they did the Template like this was just to try to make things easier for project teams so that if they have, for example, one open office work area with 20 individual occupants they wouldn't have to write down a row for each occupant but could instead group them. I think your assumptions are correct in that it is really based on your number of controls and not your number of occupants because you could have occupants with no controls which would have to be listed separately with a "quantity" of zero. Hope that helps a bit. Lauren
