FAQs about IEQc3.6 :

If pest management of interior/exterior plants is conducted by a separate vendor, do they have to comply with the IPM requirements?

Most of the chemicals being used for my project are not listed in the San Francisco Reduced-Risk Pesticide List. Does this mean that the credit cannot be achieved?

We have notified the tenants 72 hours prior to the pesticide application but now the pest control vendor needs to refill the toxic pesticide. Do we need to use universal notification for a refill?

If I’m only applying pesticides to one floor in my building. Am I required to notify all tenants, or can I just notify the occupants on that floor?

What do I do if have a project outside the U.S. where many of the pesticides listed on the San Francisco Reduced-Risk Pesticide List are not available?

What are the different requirements for implementing the IPM Plan for SSc3 versus IEQc3.6?

Are rodent baits ever considered least toxic?

Is there a required frequency for pest service site visits in order to be considered integrated pest management? How frequent and how rigorous should the inspections be in order to comply?

While it is not yet part of the LEED guidelines, you may find our new "Pest Prevention By Design" guidelines useful. This peer-reviewed resource assembles a long list of building design and retrofit tactics known to prevent pest problems. A pilot credit based on these guidelines is in the works. See: http://www.sfenvironment.org/news/update/pest-prevention-by-design-guidelines-released Chris Geiger, with Mark Palmer

Love the idea, coming from the pest control industry. But, any thoughts on applying to commercial buildings? I have a program called "Birdproof by Design" I apply to projects, obviously specifically targeting pest birds. Are there any thoughts on the applicability of this being done for an Innovation Credit until a Pilot Credit can be developed?  Heath Waldorf
