Extracted Content

Credit	Thermal Comfort	Incorporated into new credit: EQc Occupant Experience. Updated reference standard to ASHRAE 55-2023. Modified thermal controllability to a new option: Adaptable Environment. Added a requirement to explain how the design considers thermal conditions that adjust with seasons, overcooling during nontemperate seasons, and support for occupants carrying out different tasks with varying levels of movement. Removed ISO and CEN standards option.
Credit	Interior Lighting	Incorporated into new credit: EQc Occupant Experience. Condensed and modified requirements for the lighting quality option including a luminance of less than 6,000 candela per square meter, achieve a unified glare rating (UGR) of 19 or lower, and have a CRI of 90 or higher. Modified lighting control option to a new option: Adaptable Environment.
Credit	Daylight	Incorporated into new credit: EQc Occupant Experience. Moved glare-control devices in all regularly occupied spaces in a new pathway. Added proximity to windows for daylight access in a new pathway. Modified point and sDA300/50% or sDA150/50% thresholds for daylight simulation (Spatial Daylight Autonomy and Annual Sunlight Exposure) option and added a requirement for any regularly occupied spaces with ASEnet(1000,250) greater than 20% to identify how the space is addressing glare. Removed simulation: illuminance calculations and measurement options.
Credit	Quality Views	Incorporated into new credit: EQc Occupant Experience Option 1 path 2. Reduced the requirements and types of views and increased the point thresholds (75% of regularly occupied floor area with compliant views for 2 points, and 90% for 3 points).
Credit	Acoustic Performance	Acoustic requirements have been updated and added to the EQc Occupant Experience credit.
Credit	Enhanced Air Quality	New credit. Incorporates LEED v4 EQc Enhanced Indoor Air Quality Strategies.
Credit	Occupant Experience	New credit. Incorporates LEED v4 EQc Thermal Comfort, EQc Interior Lighting, EQc Daylight, EQc Quality Views, and EQc Acoustic Performance credits.
Credit	Accessibility and Inclusion	New credit.
Credit	Resilient Spaces	New credit.
Credit	Air Quality Testing and Monitoring	New credit. Incorporates LEED v4 EQc Indoor Air Quality Assessment credit.
