FAQs about IEQp2 :

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?

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?

USGBC has just issued a LEED Interpretation clarifying that e-cigarettes should be considered the same as conventional cigarettes for the purpose of this prerequisite. This follows World Health Organization recommendations. See LEED Interpretation #10388 for the exact language.
