It's clear that for this credit, LEED only accepted IAQ testing using EPA or ISO method. But we find it difficult to get certified lab that uses those method as our project is located outside of US. There are some lab offered us to use NIOSH method instead. Is it possible that LEED would acknowledge or give us leniency to use this method?

Yasir, I think it might be possible. This is not one of the credits for which USGBC has offered a non-U.S. Alternative Complaince Path, but they have signaled openness to offering such paths for other credits. I would contact GBCI with your request and see what they say. And please post back here what happens.

Dear Tristan,
Luckily you wont have to contact GBCI. Because, It turned out that our building ventilation design have already doing the "flush out" plan. So we have done the calculation needed and submitted it to our project administration. Right now, I still wait for GBCI respond. Thank you for your concern.
