Caroline- I am a little bit confused about you attempting to certify phase 2 only and not phase 1. Make sure you're meeting the Minimum Program Requirements that require the certification of a whole building. As long as you are meeting that requirement, you should simply protect the ductwork installed earlier (including ducts that remain that have been in place for years) by wrapping them, sealing them etc. during the phase two construction as part of your IAQ management plan during construction.

Allison, Thank you. I thought sealing them would be adequate but wanted to sound off on the forum to see if that's how others felt also. As for excluding Phase 1, it gets a bit complicated. Phase 1 involves a minimal amount of work. Since Phase 2 is so extensive it requires whole building certification. While we are being cautiously aware of what may affect final certification we did not have the time to begin the documentation during Phase 1.
