A new 10 story office building will be built in an arid region. Installing occupancy sensors would not impact which credit?
A: Indoor Environmental Quality Prerequisite, Minimum Indoor Air Quality Performance
B: Indoor Environmental Quality Credit, Outdoor Air Delivery Monitoring
C: Indoor Environmental Quality Credit, Controllability of Systems-Thermal Comfort
D: Energy and Atmosphere Credit, Optimize Energy Performance

参考答案: B

本题解释:
Designers will need to evaluate the interaction between thermal comfort (ASHRAE 55-2004) and acceptable indoor air quality
for Indoor Environmental Quality Prerequisite, Minimum Indoor Air Quality Performance (ASHRAE 62.1-2007).
Occupancy sensors will decrease/increase the temperature in the building which can change the indoor air quality.

Occupancy sensors are not part of monitoring outdoor air delivery.

IEQ C6.2 requires individual comfort controls. Occupancy sensors are not a type of individual comfort control. They are used for groups or areas rather than the individual.

Occupancy sensors can be integrated in the design to turn down the thermostat automatically and reduce airflow when occupants are away, helping to reduce energy use.

A reduction in energy use would affect Energy and Atmosphere Credit, Optimize Energy Performance.
