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

Should Bus Maintenance Bays be included in this credit? People work in this areas more than 8 hours a day but how would you show compliance? No task lighting and only onw switch for the whole warehouse. Thanks

Victor, it seems like these spaces shoud be included in the credit as multi-occupant spaces.

Hi Victor, I do think you need to include these spaces for credit compliance. However, I disagree with Tristan (sorry about that Tristan). The intent of the credit is to give occupants greater control of their thermal comfort. The occupants in this space are in various areas doing different tasks. This is not the case in "multi-occupant" like conference rooms where everyone is in the same often densely occupied area doing essentially the same thing (same level of activity). So, to meet the credit requirement for the space in question I think you would need to provide spot conditioning (e.g., spot coolers and radiant heaters) for 50% of the occupants. Doing so, would meet the credit intent and the requirements.
