FAQs about IEQc5 :

Should track-off mats being used on the project to meet IEQc5 requirements be included in IEQc4.3 credit requirements?

What is the definition of a high-volume copier?

Do I need to provide dedicated exhaust for my printer or copier?

I do not have 10' of space inside my building entrance to install a walk-off system. Can I include one on the exterior? Can the shape be irregular?

What does ‘regularly used exterior entrance’ mean and how do I know which of my building entrances falls under this category?

Are entryway mats required for a building entrance from another building?

Can I use carpet tile as a track-off system? What about carpet?

Our building has a green cleaning program and is earning an ID credit for it, based on the LEED-EBOM IEQc3 requirements. Can we skip the exhaust requirements for our janitor rooms?

How do we show that the printers/copiers to be installed are just convenience ones and therefore will not require separate exhaust?

The answer is the printer capacity - there's a maximum capacity (which I do not remember unfortunately) for convenience printers. I expect you'll have to read the reference guide in detail to find this info.

Hi Sara - Printers/copiers used to produce less than 40,000 pages/month are considered convenience printers/copiers for the purpose of this credit. Anything over this figure is considered to be 'high volume'. There are few related interpretations, but here is one if you need for reference: https://www.usgbc.org/leedaddenda/1938.
