FAQs about IEQc3.6 :

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?

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?

Requirements in Credit Compliance Guidance vs. Redline?

Starting to see more and more of this as we get deeper into recertifications. In the Recertification Guidance document, on page 17 (Credit Compliance Guidance section), performance requirements are to provide pesticide application logs for the most recent 25% of recertification performance period. On page 94 (Redline section) for the same credit, under performance it says "demonstrate that the IPM plan was implemented and maintained 100% of the time." I would typically default to the credit form for more definitive requirements, but in this case it doesn't really help one way or the other. I've noticed this with a few different credits, but this is the most glaring. Which documentation guidance are we expected to follow for a recertification? Do the contents of one section supersede the other? Thanks in advance!!

Hi - for this credit you should provide logs for the most recent 25% per page 17. This is confirmed on the recertification credit form which can be downloaded at http://www.usgbc.org/sampleforms/v3 by selecting Existing Buildings - Recertification from the dropdown.

Thanks Trista! I'm a little uneasy because my project is also using v06 forms, but I'm not even given the option of choosing initial certification vs. recertification (the "Certification Type" doesn't exist on the forms I'm looking at). Regardless, I'll go with 25% since that was my hunch anyway. Thanks again!
