NC-v4 EQc1:Enhanced indoor air quality strategies

Entryway systems for delivery

Hi everyone,

we have a project that includes a delivery entry, which is only used by the responsible service staff for the delivery operation. 

To our mind this delivery entrance is not regularly used and an atypical entrance. Therefore, it has not to be included in the entryway system for the credit “Enhanced indoor air quality strategies”. Is that correct?

All other entrances gaining access to a building and frequently used have entryway systems according to the requirements of the credit.

Hi Christine,  Usually, non-regularly used doors refer to emergency doors and not essentially low use entrances but since there are no specific threshold teams can provide a narrative justifying why the entrance wasn't considered to be regularly used.

Hi Christine,  Can you confirm if your apporach was accepted?  Thanks in advance - Francis

I have never seen an exception made for person entrances based on the frequency of use. The frequency or the responsibility of the personnel do not protect from pollutants and moisture being brought into the interior on peoples' shoes. That is the intent. The exception that has typically been allowed and I believe is now approved has been for man doors entering a loading dock type space, but only as long as the rollout mat requirements are met inside the entrance to where people and air would come into the return air envelope.
