Intent:

1. Provide high level of thermal comfort system control for individuals and multi-occupant spaces to promote productivity, comfort and well being of building occupants.

Implementation:

1. Individual comfort controls for 50% min. of building occupants.
2. Operable windows are OK instead if:
   • occupants are stationed within 20′-0″ inside and 10′-0″ to either side of the window opening.
   • meets standards of ASHRAE 62.1-2004 for natural ventilation
3. Also provide thermal comfort controls for multi-occupancy rooms, adjustable to suit needs of various groups to occupy the space.
   • thermal comfort conditions under ASHRAE 55-2004
