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?

EBOM-2009 IEQp2:Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) Control

EQ P2 Option A - Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) Control

Hi, We already have a Smoke & Vape-Free Environment Policy in place since last year which prohibits smoking in and on the grounds, way beyond the 25ft requirement for LEED. We want to make sure our policy meets the requirements of the LEED policy template. What I'm not sure about is if we have to list performance metrics for this credit? Is it enough that we have the policy in place as well as the appropriate signage on site. Also, does our signage have to specifically say no smoking within 25 feet when our current boundary and posted signs are way beyond this? TIA

Hi Vanessa, The no-smoking policy does not need to follow the typical template for LEED policies, so no performance metrics, goals, etc need to be included. There is a sample no-smoking policy that can be found in the documentation tool-kit above. The signage does not need to note that there is no smoking within 25 feet, but the policy and other documentation must demonstrate that the 25 foot rule is clearly communicated to all building tenants. I hope this helps!
