FAQs about IEQc5 :

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?

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?

We have a C&S building and we asume that it will be occupied by corporate offices. What do we need to do about the exhaust requirement? Above says :Core-and-Shell (CS) projects must meet all the relevant credit requirements for the CS scope of the building, including work done as part of the base building in future tenant spaces. What does that mean? Do we have to leave exhaust ducts for the tenats? Or do we have to include the requirements in the tenat lease agreement? What is the definition from high volume copy equipment? Thanks

A high volume copy area is 40,000 copies or more per month. According to CS Appendix 4, IEQc5 must be supported by tenant lease agreements. I would meet the credit requirements for any space you are building out, make it physically possible for the tenant to meet all requirements, and require them to do so in the lease.

About this issue the GBCI technical customer service answered: "...the requirements of a credit exclude the fit-out of tenant spaces. Tenant space activities such as use of copiers, fax machines, and printers are not considered within the scope of the LEED Core & Shell program." So, Do we have to leave exhaust ducts for the tenats?

I don't really know what to make of GBCI's response. It doesn't address the key questions, which are a) tenant lease requirements, and b) including systems enabling tenants to meet credit requirements. I shared my thoughts on both topics earlier. I'll ask around for another opinion.

In the past, I have been successful providing any required exhaust in core spaces, making sure the mechanical systems are capable of allowing tenants to provide any required exhaust in their space and also writing the exhaust requirements into the tenant lease agreement. Of course, past acceptance doesn't gurantee ot for the future, but I think that you should be in good shape if you do these three things.
