NC-2009 IEQc6.2:Controllability of Systems—Thermal Comfort

How to calculate 50% in a hotel

Am I allowed to include the thermostats in each guest room when I calculate the 50% of building occupants who have access to individual comfort controls? Also - how do I search the forum? It is possible that someone has already answered this question, but using the search tool on top of the page only brings me back to the top of the forum. The forum responses seem very informative, but finding the topic you want to read about is a real challenge. Thanks

Robert, You can include thermostats if they provide the user with control of the system (e.g. temperature changes, fan speed changes, etc.). Some thermostats are locked out or are only temperature sensors, these would not be able to be included. Are you attempting this credit for a multi-family project? A hotel? Below others have discussed how to document spaces in these types of projects.

Yes, controllable thermostats would count.
