Inquiry

It is clear that EQ 5.1 includes half-baths, however what about EQ 5.2? For example, if the project is trying to earn credits for EQ5.2 and installs occupancy-sensored fans in each of the bathrooms, can the fan in the half-bath only be manual, or does it also have to follow the requirements of EQ5.2?\n\nAs I mentioned before, because "half-bath" is not specifically called out in EQ 5.2, and because there is no significant humidity source in a half-bath (and EQ 5.2 deals primarily with humidity and moisture), I would guess that the example above would still meet EQ 5.2.
