Hi, For a building that has a specific requirements for manufacturing areas to be at temperature/humidity setpoints that fall outside of ASHRAE 55-2004 is there a CIR that anyone else has found th

Hi, we are doing a project in South east Asia for LEED NC.

The LEED-NC 2009 EQc7.1 credit template asks us to document the Project Space Design Air Speed at 3 ft above the floor. According to ASHRAE 55, this should be a maximum of 40 FPM.

Our project is a car showroom in a location where no air conditioning nor heating is needed due to the mild clima throughout the year. This is an occupied, enclosed space.

We wish to pursue the credits IEQ 7.1 & 7.2 , the space is auditorium seating with a dance floor for Wedding .(Area - 5300 sq ft , Occupancy 370 People), having office spaces on other floors .

Dear All:- As of now we are using berkeley.edu/comfort tool for thermal comfort compliance for both A/c & Non A/c area But we use PMV method for A/c area and adaptive method for Non A/c area

The IEQc7.2 Cooling Mode table asks for the Design Operative Temperature, Maximum Design Humidity and Design Air Speed for the four seasons (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter).

Hi, Two questions involving credit IEQ 7.1. 1- In Table IEQc7.1-2 cooling mode: when they ask for the design operative temperature in winter season what do they mean?

I heard from someone in ASHRAE that the Standard 55 User's Manual is definitely in development and will be "coming soon". Hopefully it will be available later this year?
