FAQs about IEQc3.2 :

Do non-regularly occupied areas such as bathrooms and corridors have to be flushed-out?

For LEED NC addition projects, do existing non-renovated areas need to be flushed-out or tested?

For IAQ testing, how many sample points are necessary in non-mechanically ventilated spaces?

Can testing be done over various days?

I'm confused about the 11/1/2011 LEED addendum that removed the "1/25,000 SF or each contiguous area whichever is larger" language from the credit requirement. How do we determine the number of sampling locations for testing?

Is it possible for the flush-out start date to vary by ventilation zone?

Should a parking garage be included in a flush-out, if it is in a basement and not fully open to the outdoors?

Do the outdoor air minimum quantities have to be met for each individual space, or for the building square footage as a whole?

CI-2009 IEQc3.2:Construction IAQ Management Plan—Before Occupancy

I have a CI project with 4 floors and phased occupancy. Two floors will be occupied while two are still under construction. Is it possible to split IAQ Testing into 2 sections (floors 1 and 2 first, and then floors 3 and 4 on a later date when they are complete) given that the two areas to be tested are on separate floors?

Melissa- I don't see a problem with this strategy, as long as you make sure that construction is totally complete on each area before you test it.

We have been exactly that for a LEED CI V2 project and it was no problem in the review.
