Hi there,
If any Green Star AP, based on their experience, could please assist with the below query I have regarding Credit IEQ-2 Thermal Comfort in the Interiors Green Star Tool:
For Compliance Route 2 - Deemed-to-Satisfy Criteria, 1 point is available for no long-term seating being provided within 1.5 metres of the external facade.
If someone could please advise if they know what the definition of long-term is i.e. the number of hours that seating is occupied for.
Kind regards,
Claire
Hi Claire, while the TM is not conclusive, the definition of Occupied Space might help, as it includes reference to number of hours per day:
Occupied Space (OS) - Occupied Space refers to all areas within the building where a person is
expected to work for periods longer than one continuous hour per day. Occupied areas include, but
are not limited to office, retail areas, communal areas, changing facilities, kitchens, laboratories
(provided that other functional requirements do not supersede the credit requirements), first aid
facilities, lobby, and similar.
Hi Greg,
Thank you for your feedback, I thought that this may be the case.
Much appreciated,
Claire
