IEQ credit 6.1: "Regularly occupied space" it is not defined anywhere in the reference guide. There are a few different ways to interpret this and each way implies something different for design solutions. Regularly occupied space could mean that [1] the space is occupied by full time occupants such as office space for 8 hours per day or more. It could also mean that [2] it doesn\'t have to be full time occupants but could be occupants of a more transient nature such as a retail space or cafe. The space itself may be occupied regularly but not with the same group of people, in which case controllability perhaps isn\'t so crucial. There are also [3] spaces such as conference or lounge type areas may be used regularly, but by a more transient occupancy. In an occupancy such as this, it could actually compromise energy performance to have operable windows, as there is no one responsible to ensure that the windows are closed when the space is not occupied.
