I have a major building entrance in my LEED boundary as well as some exterior entrances to a courtyard- do I need the mats to the courtyard area too? Then we have restrooms but no janitor closet or chemical mixing area- we DO have MERV 15 filters. If there is no "chemical mixing area"?

Sue, the chemical mixing area requirement is no longer in effect. Mats would be needed off the courtyard since it's an exterior entrance from which contaminants could be tracked.
