Is outdoor air quality testing required in a space using natural ventilation?
What options are available to projects outside the US to meet this prerequisite?
Can LEED 2009 projects elect to follow ASHRAE 62.1-2010 for this prerequisite?
Which units should be included in the calculations for this prerequisite?

Sriram, ASHRAE would not define ventilation rates for your application. You need to refer to the U.S. Pharmacopoeial Convention applicable standards.

Thanks for the reply,
We are using the in house standards of the Pharmaceutical client Which are More stringent than ASHRAE, But From LEED point of view and to compare with ASHRAE base case can we assume the Ventilation Rates of Wood / Metal Shop given in Table 6.1 of ASHRAE- 62.1?

Andrew, can you please share the link for the US Pharmacopoeial Convention Standards?
Also can anyone give the reference from the LEED Reference guide / Addenda, that justifies the use of above standard as a baseline for IEQc2 credit?
Thank you.
