Our project is a university housing complex consisting of low-rise apartment buildings. None of the spaces qualify as non-perimeter spaces, per the LEED v2 definition, and we are proposing an alternate approach to achieve the intent of this credit in a student housing setting. We are installing baseboard heaters in each room of the apartments with individual thermostats controlling each room. The majority of student housing projects we are aware of are built with several living areas or bedrooms served by each thermostat, resulting in discomfort as different occupants desire different space temperatures. Our project is installing the baseboard heating system in order to provide each student control over the temperature in his/her space. Will the USGBC accept this room-by-room zoning scenario as an alternate approach to achieving this credit in residential projects?
