FAQs about EQp2 :

Municipal law requires that our building be completely smoke-free inside. It also bans smoking next to the building, but it’s not as stringent as the 25 foot LEED requirement. Do we have to make another policy that bans smoking within 25 feet?

We want to designate a smoking area less than 25 feet from an emergency exit. Is this okay since that door is rarely (if ever) used?

What if I have a zero lot line property and no control over the sidewalk?

What about vaping and e-cigarettes?

What about residential balconies?

NC-v4 EQp2:Environmental tobacco smoke control

Project in a resort attached to casino that allows smoking

I have a client planning a complete fit-out of one of their retail spaces. The project is located in a resort in Las Vegas, which is attached to a Casino that allows smoking. Smoking is prohibited in the shopping/ dining area of the resort where the project is located. Is the project eligible for LEED certification even though smoking is allowed in the Casino portion of the building? Could additional IAQ strategies be adopted such as self-closing doors, enhanced ventilation etc. to meet LEED tobacco smoke requirements?

I appreciate your assistance.

Thank you!

Hi Anna, that sounds reasonable to me but I highly recommend explaining your case to USGBC and getting their confirmation in writing, given that this is pretty strict prerequisite.
