FAQs about IEQc3.5 :

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?

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?

According to the latest Addenda the following statement, "Provide containment drains plumbed for appropriate disposal of hazardous liquid wastes in places where water and chemical concentrate mixing occurs for laboratory purposes." is no longer required. Yet, this same requirement is in latest reference guide (2010) and the LEED Online template. Does anyone know if the chemical containment is still required for laboratory purposes?

Karin, we discuss this requirement above under the Bird's Eye View, but it was removed as of the July 2010 addendum you mention. Addenda alter the reference guide, so it's good to check any addenda posted after the publish date of the guide you're looking at. As for your LEED Online form, you may be looking at an older version, as these also go through updates. I would ask GBCI to update it via their contact form.

USGBC has replied that the LEED Online form for this issue will be adjusted in the next round of revisions.
