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?

Loading Docks

Our project consists of a manufacturing facility with 3 loading docks. These docks do not currently have an entryway system. Is there any possible way to get an exemption for these docks or would we be require to install systems to pursue this credit? Thank you! Edit: There are air curtains installed over these entrances if that makes any difference.

Hi Michael, loading docks must have compliant entryway systems in order to comply with this credit. Typically the only entrances that can get an exemption are emergency exits, entrances to private offices, and entrances that are not in use during the performance period.
