NC-2009 IEQc6.2:Controllability of Systems—Thermal Comfort

Thermostat Control Location

Hi, I have received a review comment that says “drawing confirming the location of the individual thermal controls and the location of shared multi-occupant spaces thermal controls have not been provided as required”. The system designed and installed is a VRF system with a thermostat remote control. This control does not have an exactly place, usually it stays at the working station that why it is not indicating on the drawing. Do we have to indicate the control on the plant even if the control won’t be exactly there? Thanks!

Hi Fabiano, I suggest you outline on a drawing the thermal zone served by each VRF unit. Label the drawing so that the reviewer can match up the VRF with the zone and then just show a t'stat in the zone. It shouldn't matter where. A simple narrative like the one in your 2nd paragraph should suffice to explain the system to the reviewer. It's likely they are just not familiar with the wireless sensor technology that many VRF systems use now. Good luck!
