FAQs about IEQc3.2 :

Should we install furniture and furnishings before IAQ testing or flushout?

The air temperature and/or relative humidity went out of the credit requirement specifications for a portion of the flush-out. What do we do? Can we extend the flush-out for the equivalent amount of time to make up for it?

For Option 1 Path 2, can there be a time gap between when the pre occupancy ends and post-occupancy flush out begins? Or does one have to immediately follow the other?

Under Option 1 Path 2 the credit states: "Once the space is occupied, it must be ventilated at a minimum rate of 0.30 cubic feet per minute (cfm) per square foot..." I read this to mean that once the space is occupied it must continue to be flushed at an elevated level until the flush out is complete. Otherwise, you are exposing the occupants to contaminates until you get around to finishing the flush out.
