FAQs about EQc5 :

Can I exempt a public space from the controls requirement? The owner doesn’t want visitors adjusting the thermostat all the time.

I have a naturally ventilated office with lots of operable windows. Do I need to add any other controls?

Hi Martin, You may use ceiling fans, adjustable underfloor diffusers, task-mounted controls (such as plug-in desktop fans, humidifiers, or dehumidifiers), and operable windows.

Hi Martin,

As stated on LEED BD+C v4 guide page 698, it can be achieved if the eligible thermal comfort control in this area is provided, which allows occupants to control air temperature, radiant temperature, air speed, and humidity.
For individual workstation in open office, provision of task fan for each individual workstation should be enough. Please also take note that at least 50% of individual occupant spaces shall have individual thermal control.

Best regards – Afogreen Build Team
