Where did the 7-point scale requirement come from? We have had our documentation questioned in reviews because we did not use this scale.

NC-2009 IEQc7.2:Thermal Comfort—Verification

Permanent Monitoring Devices

We have a smaller government project that does not have the need or budget for a building automation system, which we have used as the monitoring equipment for this credit previously. We are considering small, stand alone device(s) to monitor and alarm with a sampling interval of 15 minutes. It does not appear that the device needs to record, just monitor and alarm. Followup corrective action with short term trend loggers could be used to pursue the problem. Any successful experience with this approach?

Scott, this makes sense to some degree, but I also worry that this approach would not be considered "permanent." What happens when personnel change a bit, the devices lose their battery power, and no one knows what they were for anyway?It's unfortunate that USGBC has given us very little to go on in terms of what constitutes an acceptable monitoring system for this credit.Bottom line—I might give it a try, but I'm not sure it will work.
