Is a covered exterior grate system (e.g, outside a vestibule) at all high volume entryways an acceptable approach to credit achievement for IEQc5? Any advice or guidance would be most appreciated.
Note that our project is pursuing LEED v1.0 NC certification through the CaGBC.

Hi Shelley,
In my opinion unfortunately not. User guide has on page 513 description of entryway systems says that:
"entryway system must extend 10 feet from the building entrance into the building interior..."
Of course you can go threw special circumstances path bacuse it might depend i.e. on project location or design of entrance overhang.
