There will be no smoking in our buildings (DoD requirement); we will have smoking allowed outside the 25' perimeter outdoors. As such, would it violate the requirements of IEQp2 to have smoking receptacles at the doorways for butt disposal? I am thinking it would, but would like some input as the design team is looking into this idea from a solid waste control perspective.

I would say it probably does not meet the credit requirements. One could argue that a receptacle does not actually violate the requirements, but butts left for disposal are often still smoking, or were being smoked up until the moment they were dropped in. They are still emitting odors and chemicals. And, nothing really labels a spot for smoking better than a butt receptacle.
