Inquiry

With reference to LEED version 2.0, IEQ Credit 1: Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Monitoring: Our project is a 4-story, 112,000-ft office building located in Denver, Colorado. The building is cooled and heated by two 1,563 MBH air handling units (AHUs) located on the roof of the building. In efforts to maximize indoor air quality, we plan on installing a CO2 monitor in the return air duct of each AHU. In addition, we plan to install a CO2 monitor in the return air duct serving the two rooms in the building with the highest probability of having high CO2 levels. These monitors will provide feedback to the building control system, allowing operational adjustments to be made to the HVAC system. Assuming we provide the necessary drawings and cut sheets, will our approach meet the requirements of this credit?
