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?

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

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.
