FAQs about IEQc3.2 :

Is it possible for the flush-out start date to vary by ventilation zone?

Should a parking garage be included in a flush-out, if it is in a basement and not fully open to the outdoors?

Do the outdoor air minimum quantities have to be met for each individual space, or for the building square footage as a whole?

Do non-regularly occupied areas such as bathrooms and corridors have to be flushed-out?

For LEED NC addition projects, do existing non-renovated areas need to be flushed-out or tested?

For IAQ testing, how many sample points are necessary in non-mechanically ventilated spaces?

Can testing be done over various days?

I'm confused about the 11/1/2011 LEED addendum that removed the "1/25,000 SF or each contiguous area whichever is larger" language from the credit requirement. How do we determine the number of sampling locations for testing?

Can the Owner or GC do the IAQ test themselves ie be responsible for setting the test can and chain of custody to the lab?

Hi Brett, We have successfully used an industrial hygienist who was an employee of the owner on one project. However, I have a feeling the reviewer would argue if the person taking the tests is not a qualified professional.
