FAQs about IEQc3.5 :

How often do entryway systems need to be cleaned?

Can we clean entryway mats in-house, or do they need to be sent to a “professional” cleaning service?

We have a loading dock and an attached underground garage. Both of these areas have access into the building interior. Do we need to have entryway systems for either of them?

Do the ten-foot mats need to be one continuous mat?

Can an entryway system be split up so that part is located outside and the remainder of the required ten feet is located inside?

We already have a carpeted lobby that extends further than ten feet in all directions from the building entrance. Does this count as a compliant entryway system? Our cleaning staff vacuums and performs restorative cleaning frequently to this area.

We don’t have enough space for ten feet of mats. What can we do to earn this credit?

Handicap Access

Our building has a separate main entrance and handicap access (which includes an elevator to travel between street level and lobby vertically). As we are planning to place entryway mat (6'Wx10'L) to both main entrance and the handicap access (not directly at elevator front as door swinging out is very close to the floor), we are also afraid that the one at the handicap access may cause inconvenience to some of our visitors. Is it a must to place an entryway mat there as well?

Regularly used entries need mats or grilles installed. Is there a design solution to minimize the inconvenience? If you think a mat would be too hard to roll a wheelchair over, would you be able to retrofit a grille in the floor?

Retrofitting a grille is less likely to take place in the near future, unfortunately. I shall keep that as a side note for future development. Probably I may try looking if any mat comes in with a bevel edge (or other wheelchair friendly solution) Thanks!
