Blower Door Test for Non-Smoking Hotel: IEQP2: ETS Control

Blower Door Test for Non-Smoking Hotel For a Hotel Project where the Owner has confirmed its policy to be entirely non-smoking, is the requirement to conduct blower door testing (IEQP2: ETS Control) as given below no longer applicable. “Demonstrate acceptable sealing of residential units by a blower door test conducted in accordance with ANSI/ASTM-E779-03, Standard Test Method for Determining Air Leakage Rate By Fan Pressurization.” Thank you for the advices.

Sasha, If the owner has declared that the entire building is non-smoking, then separation testing is not required for LEED. You should check the local codes to see if they have a required test for rooms, as some municipalities require blower door testing of a sample of hotel rooms. Chris
