USGBC has not developed an IEQ space matrix for v4 projects. Instead, this information is included in the Indoor Environmental Quality Overview section of the LEED O+M v4 Reference Guide.
Information about the referenced standard for this credit, ASHRAE Standard 55-2010, Thermal Environmental Conditions for Human Occupancy, can be found on ASHRAE’s website.
The Center for the Built Environment (CBE) at UC–Berkeley is an excellent resource for best practices involving HVAC equipment and indoor environmental quality.
This article from the Center for the Built Environment provides good information on the use of temperature sensors as part of the commissioning process.
Trend graphs of air temperature and humidity data are not required for the credit, but it’s a useful way to view the information that is gathered and note any anomalies.
