Tables IEQc2-1 and IEQc2-2: - Does each room/space get listed? - How are storage and mechanical rooms to categorized? Table IEQc2-1: When Space Type "Public Space" is selected, the automatic default for Adjacency is "MRI Room." I do not have an MRI room in the project!!! Why does the "Adjacency" column provide such limited selections? How does a space get treated when it has multiply adjacencies? Table IEQc2-3: The 2nd floor is future-fit out space to be determine/developed by the Owner. It will probably have medical treatment spaces of some kind along with some office space. What space type should it be assigned? Should an OR room be categorized as "treatment room"

I think you can lump similar rooms together as long as the wall design is an equal. Exam rooms would get listed twice, once for an exam to exam room adjacency and a second time for an exam to corridor adjacency. It appears that the form is mirroring the FGI chart. If you don't have that adjacency, you don't have to report it would be my interpretation. This doesn't seem rigorous to me and your design probably is better. Can you use the uploaded documents to clarify the design?

Thanks or the clarification. If we puresue for the option 2 , for instance we checked and clculated the site exterior site noise. After 1 year a new road is constructed/ modified near the site or building services modified. Then what will be the solution for the future changes, the values will be recalculated in this case??? Thanks
