FAQs about IEQp2 :

Our outside smoking area is located less than 25 feet from an emergency exit. Is this okay since that door is rarely (if ever) used?

"Prohibit on-property smoking within 25 feet of ENTRIES, outdoor air intakes and operable windows." I didn't found a definition, which entries are meant? Perhaps main entries for building occupants? Can some entries be excempted? Such as: emergency exits (only used in the event of fire) or entries for delivery (used once a week) side entries...

Wolfgang, I agree, it would be good for USGBC to define this. However, my understanding is that the definition would be very broad—encompassing pretty much any opening in the envelope, including the examples you gave.

Hi All, Is there already an official interpretation or definition from USGBC/GBCI regarding the building entries and excemptions for some entries, if any? This also concerns our project where the owner proposes a smoking area at roof deck but near a storage room. The storage room has an opening (a door) and nothing else; it will not introduce ETS inside the building because the wall partitons are concreted from floor to ceiling, and it is also rarely used. While all other building opening that may introduce ETS inside the building is 25 feet away. Would appreciate your thoughts.

Mary Ann, what is being stored there? Thirdhand smoke is a real problem.
