[Bldg-sim] Setback Temperature

[West, Scott P]

Anderson,
I was checking this out recently I don't believe temperature or humidity setpoints are regulated by ASHRAE 90.1 during occupied periods.  I think they primarily limit this through ASHRAE 55 regarding thermal comfort.  Of course ASHRAE standard 55 is often not mandatory but it is certainly good practice.  It goes without saying that several space types such as hospitals and labs have special temperature and humidity requirements that are industry-specific.

Subject: [Bldg-sim] Setback Temperature

Dear all,

We are working on a project that has a special occupancy space and we need to determine a setback/setup temperature for moments that the space is not occupied during working hours.

Section 6.4.3.3.2, of ASHRAE 90.1, states that setback temperature must be 13ºC or lower, and setup temperature, 32ºC or higher. I understand these temperatures are for off-hours.

Are there such limits of setback/setup temperature for working hours? Or is it defined by design?

Regards,
Anderson Letti
