FAQs about IEQc6.2 :

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

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?

1) On my current project, we have an office room which has three work stations, served by one thermostat, one diffuser and no operable window. The office will be occupied only part-time (1-2 days per month). Can we provide the thermostat near one workstation, diffuser close to the second workstation and claim this credit as it caters to more than 50% occupants? 2) In general, do we have to provide thermal comfort controls for part-timers occupying a space only once a week? Thank you!

Hi Vishnu, If you have three workstations in one office and you have a thermostat and a diffuser than you should be covered for the 50% requirement. Do you have more than one office in your project? You would have to include your entire project space. LEED hasn't provided too much clarity regarding part time employees or building occupants. Generally speaking, it's best to provide controls for both part time employees and full time employees if at all possible. The credit is based off of workstation layout more than anything else, rather than the duration of time at a workstation. It looks like you'll be good to meet the requirements in the scenario you described. Lauren
