1 WELCOME WELCOME to the Building Environmental Comfort Verification Survey. By answering a few brief questions, you can provide valuable information to assist in maintaining or improving temperature and humidity levels and indoor air quality in your building. No response to this survey indicates you are satisfied with the existing building comfort systems. You can change any previous response by clicking on the PREV button at the bottom of each page. DO NOT use the back button at the top of your browser. Thank you for your time and your particpation! Page 1

8 Indiana University THERMAL COMFORT VERIFICATION PLAN For Jacobs School of Music Studio LEED Project ID Statement of Intent The Jacobs School of Music Studio (Formerly IU Jacobs School of Music Faculty Studio Building) on the Bloomington campus of Indiana University (IU) was designed and is being constructed to provide indoor environmental conditions that equal or exceed the University and ASHRAE Standards for a specified wide range of outdoor temperature and humidity levels and air quality conditions. The intent of this Plan is to establish the procedures that will be used by University staff to verify the comfort level related to those indoor conditions and initiate corrective action if found to be needed. This Plan is intended to fully comply with the requirements of Credit 7.2 in the Indoor Environmental Quality (EQ) section of the LEED New Construction (NC) green building rating program, Version 2.2. Structure of Plan The primary parts of the process for the Plan are the: Survey Development, Distribution and Collection Analysis Evaluating survey results & supplemental field measurements to verify rooms with maintained acceptable thermal conditions and to identify those rooms that are not. Survey Corrective Action Warranty work by contractors or Work Orders by IU Building Maintenance. Development: Using the thermal comfort sections of the ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 2004, Thermal Environmental Conditions for Human Occupancy and the associated Informative Appendix E, Thermal Environmental Survey, IU Engineering Services and the Sustainability Interns of the Office of Sustainability drafted a Thermal Comfort Survey in web survey format during the summer of The draft was tested for user acceptance and further refined in Distribution: The Physical Plant Service Center will issue to the Building Representative a comfort survey announcement letter with link to a web survey adapted for the Music Studio. Twelve months after building move in the Building Representative will forward the comfort survey letter and web survey link to all building occupants. The use of a short web survey will help gather sufficient 1

9 feedback in a time efficient manner. Repeat ing will be used to gather more responses if needed to have responses from a sufficient number of occupants. If more responses are still required hard paper copies will be distributed and collected by the Building Representative to obtain a cross sampling of occupants from different parts of the building. The length of time between building move in and the collection of the surveys will insure that responses are based on a full range of weather conditions. Collection: Within the first 14 months of occupation the surveys will be collected, counted and tabulated by the Physical Plant Service Center which will then provide the surveys and preliminary results to the Assistant Director of Building Systems (ADBS). Analysis The ADBS shall analyze the specific reports of undesirable temperature or humidity control or air quality problems. Those reports will be reviewed with the Building Representative who will provide additional details on comfort issues. The record of Trouble Calls collected by the Physical Plant Dispatch and Control Centers will be reviewed in relationship to the IU seasonal ambient space temperature settings. The record of the related work done by the contractors kept by the IU Construction Management section will also be reviewed. The Building Commissioning Report shall be reviewed. Engineering Services shall provide its analysis of the actual performance as compared to the design intent. Additional field measurements or data logging from the Energy Management System (EMS) will be used as necessary. Occupant personal factors, such as metabolic rate (activity level) and clothing will also be observed and evaluated when appropriate, in accordance with the above mentioned ASHRAE Standard. If the combined data indicates that 20% of the occupants on any room have thermal comfort conditions that do not meet the IU and ASHRAE standards, then the ADBS shall identify those rooms for corrective action by the contractors and/or IU Physical Plant. Short term monitoring and spot measurements shall be started in appropriate cases. Corrective Action Using the above mentioned list of non compliant rooms and input from the Building Representative, Engineering Services and/or Building Maintenance supervisors, the ADBS will select appropriate corrective action, such as thermostat or diffuser relocations and set point or reset schedule modifications, for particular rooms or the air handler systems that serve them. Those corrective actions shall be assigned to contractors if warranty repair matters are involved. All others will be issued to Physical Plant Building Maintenance crews by the use of Work Orders that will be tracked for completion by the Physical Plant. Corrective actions shall be completed within 18 months of building occupancy if building use and economic factors will allow for modifications in that time frame. Short term monitoring and spot measurements shall be completed by that time. A final report on the Physical Plant Work Orders shall be issued by the Physical Plant Service Center to the Director of Physical Plant, the ADBS and the Building Representative. A similar report on the contractor corrective actions shall be complied & distributed by Construction Management. 2
