FAQs about IEQc5 :

Our building has a green cleaning program and is earning an ID credit for it, based on the LEED-EBOM IEQc3 requirements. Can we skip the exhaust requirements for our janitor rooms?

Should track-off mats being used on the project to meet IEQc5 requirements be included in IEQc4.3 credit requirements?

What is the definition of a high-volume copier?

Do I need to provide dedicated exhaust for my printer or copier?

I do not have 10' of space inside my building entrance to install a walk-off system. Can I include one on the exterior? Can the shape be irregular?

What does ‘regularly used exterior entrance’ mean and how do I know which of my building entrances falls under this category?

Are entryway mats required for a building entrance from another building?

Can I use carpet tile as a track-off system? What about carpet?

What happens if the printers are situated with the open plan office - not a dedicated room. Does the printer need to be a particular spec ?

Typical desktop printers don't require any special treatment. Printers with 40,000 copies per month or more must be physically isolated in a room with negative pressure relative to surrounding areas per requirements listed in the credit language.

Michelle, Can you direct as to where the 40,000 copies per month is located? Review the reference guide and all Addenda - can't seem to locate it. Thank you,
