FAQs about IEQp2 :

Do I have to provide a designated smoking area?

How can I prohibit smoking 25 feet from the entrance of my project when it is a zero lot line and its entrance abuts a public sidewalk?

How do you calculate the 25 ft. rule from designated smoking areas to building openings?

We have a strict no-smoking policy and local smoking laws that all our employees are familiar with. Can we skip the signage?

Does this prerequisite apply to e-cigarettes? What about marijuana?

NC-2009 IEQp2:Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) Control

Campuswide and Multi Building Documentation

Does anyone have experience demonstrating compliance for campuswide or multiple buildings? We would like to document this credit for campuswide submission. The campus has a policy thta bans smoking in all buildings and 30 feet beyond any entry points, windows, intakes, etc. It does not seem practical to draw a no-smoking perimeter line around over a hundred buldings on a campus. Are there known alternative submission guidelines to deal with this issue?

Hi Brian, Check the 2010 AGMBC. We have documented several campus credits, and they routinely have basically the same requirements just using the campus-wide boundary in lieu of your LEED project boundary. This credit is listed as viable for Option 1. Documentation required is noted as evidence of signage communicating the exterior smoking policy for entire campus. And yes, you would have to use a campus boundary rather than your project's LEED boundary. Please note there is a new wrinkle on that credit form that seems to indicate with a required upload that you need to provide designated smoking areas if you are not prohibiting smoking entirely on your site. I am currently querying that issue with GBCI and don't have a response yet.

Michelle, have you heard back from the GBCI regarding the "wrinkle" you mentioned? I seem to be ecountering the same thing. Our project has no operable windows (for reasons of security) and no air intakes within 25' of the exterior ground plane, so we saw no need to designate any smoking areas on the site. And yet. Thanks!
