FAQs about IEQc5 :

I do not have 10' of space inside my building entrance to install a walk-off system. Can I include one on the exterior? Can the shape be irregular?

What does ‘regularly used exterior entrance’ mean and how do I know which of my building entrances falls under this category?

Are entryway mats required for a building entrance from another building?

Can I use carpet tile as a track-off system? What about carpet?

Our building has a green cleaning program and is earning an ID credit for it, based on the LEED-EBOM IEQc3 requirements. Can we skip the exhaust requirements for our janitor rooms?

Should track-off mats being used on the project to meet IEQc5 requirements be included in IEQc4.3 credit requirements?

What is the definition of a high-volume copier?

Do I need to provide dedicated exhaust for my printer or copier?

Garage and technical rooms

Hello, We are dealing with project with underground garage, where adjacent spaces are technical rooms. Can we transfer the air from the garage to the technical rooms to ventilate them? Do we need to keep positive pressure in these rooms if they are not occupied spaces? Thanks for help

If the technical rooms are occupied regularly or even occasionally, I wouldn't recommend transferring air from an underground garage as a means of ventilation. Air from an underground garage (unless open on 2 sides/what code requires locally for the garage to be considered naturally ventilated) isn't fresh air. I don't know if this question applies to IEQc5?
