FAQs about IEQp2 :

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?

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?

I need to know if I should place filter on the smoking zones' exhaust duct? If yes, should it be HEPA filter as it is placed on the schematic diagram in the reference guide? Thanks.

Omar, I don't think that any specific filtration is required for a smoking zone's exhaust system for the LEED prerequisite. The requirement is for the smoking area to be exhausted directly to the outdoors without recirculation and to demonstrate sufficient isolation of the space from other areas of the building.
