Inquiry
The specific requirements for EQ 5.2 seem unclear. Please clarify for a) if the occupancy sensor must be located in a specific place, and for a), b) and c) how long the fan must operate after the system has been activated.
Ruling
Occupancy sensors should be placed in a location such that the exhaust fan is triggered when the toilet or shower are used. Applicable Internationally.When triggered, bathroom exhaust fans should operate for at least 20 minutes. Project teams are advised to set the time to be longer for small fans or large bathrooms, but it\'s not part of the credit requirement.
