We have a facility that has been complete and turned over to the owner for a few months but has not yet been occupied; the building is waiting for all furniture to be delivered and put into place. During this time of vacancy, the building has completed the flush out requirements per the LEED credit. Unfortunately over the weekend, a fire took place on the exterior of the facility which was close enough to affect interior elements near the glazing (un-related to this credit) and leaving behind a strong smoke odor on the interior. Has anyone had any experience similar to this "after the fact" and will a new flush out be required for credit compliance? Thanks in advance.

Sara, I'm sorry to hear that! Unfortunately the smoke and odor could carry a lot of contaminants. I would do a flush out and possibly other housekeeping measures both in the spirit of LEED and for good IAQ.
