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?

NC-2009 IEQc5:Indoor Chemical and Pollutant Source Control

Residential Building - Balconies

We are working on a multifamily residential building where many of the units have private terraces or balconies. In this instance, are walk-off mats required at each of the entrances to the balconies? If so, are they required to be 10 feet long? This would be a significant impact on the living/dining or bedroom design adjacent to the balconies.

The credit doesn't apply to balconies.

It's for regular building entrances from the outside. Presumably you have already walked off the dirt when you entered the building.

Hi Ilana, Michelle is absolutely correct. And, just to be specific, it does pertain to (ground-level) terraces, enclosed or not. We had this confirmed this year. David
