FAQs about IEQc5 :

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?

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?

Hi all,I'm now working on a project under LEED certification that aims to achieve IEQc5. Hazardous gas and chemical use areas are served by sprinkler system as a fire suppression system. If the the hard lid ceiling is drilled by the sprinkler's heads, can we assume that it is still able to demonstrate compliance with this credit? Thanks.

I haven't run across this issue as a problem. As long as you can demonstrate, if asked, that the gaps around the sprinklers are sealed, you should be fine.
