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

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

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.

Actually, they can be considered shared multioccupant spaces too.

I vaguely recall something about how public restrooms are treated differently in terms of controls, but I can't remember the exact classification.

I’m leaning towards option D, nonregularly occupied space, since people don’t stay in restrooms for long periods.

I remember a practice question about occupancy types, and I think public restrooms might fall under shared multioccupant spaces, but it feels a bit tricky.

I think public restrooms are considered nonregularly occupied spaces, but I'm not entirely sure if that’s the right term.

This seems straightforward to me. Public restrooms are not regularly occupied, so the LEED AP is correct that they can eliminate the thermostats. I'll go with D.

I think the key here is understanding how LEED defines the different types of spaces. Public restrooms are shared, multi-occupant spaces, so I'm going to go with C as the best answer.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I know public restrooms aren't regularly occupied, but I'm not sure if that automatically means they can be considered "unoccupied" for the purposes of this question.

Okay, let's see. Public restrooms are typically not considered densely occupied, so I'm leaning towards A or D as the correct answer.

Ha! Unoccupied space? That's a good one. I bet the LEED AP has never had to use a public restroom on a hot day.

Hmm, I'm not sure about that. Wouldn't it be important to maintain thermal comfort in a public restroom, even if it's not regularly occupied?
