During value engineering a project team is looking to see if they can reduce the number of thermal comfort controls. The project's LEED AP notices there are thermostats in the public restroom and says they can be eliminated because public restrooms are considered
In the context of LEED AP Interior Design + Construction, public restrooms are considered nonregularly occupied spaces. This classification is based on the nature of the space usage, which does not require continuous thermal comfort controls due to the intermittent and brief occupancy. Therefore, thermostats in such spaces can be eliminated during value engineering to optimize resource allocation without compromising the comfort of regular occupants.
