Hello, we are working on a commercial office building project. We are intending to meet the requirements of IEQc5 by providing exhaust to the janitor closets. The exhaust rate will exceed what is required by LEED, and due of cost issues we are intending to tie the janitor exhausts to the restrooms adjacent to them on each floor. There will be enough pressure so there will absolutely be no recirculation within those spaces.
Do you think tying in the janitor closet exhaust to restroom exhaust will satisfy the requirements of IEQc5?

I don't see why that would be a problem. In many buildings these would be designed as part of the same system in the base build. As long as you have sufficient negative pressure to meet the requirement you should be ok.

Yes that is standard.
