Farah, I'd recommend reviewing the guidance above, and on IEQc3.1.

All I need to know for the LEED BD+C Exam is that MERV 8 filters are required for 3.1 DURING Construction, for temporary ventilation units? And that MERV 13 is required for Credit 5. I just re-read the reference guide and unfortunately I do not have access to all the information above, as I am not a subscribed member.
