NC-2009 IEQp2:Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) Control

smoking is allowed in hotel guest rooms

Hi, Our project is mixed use commercial office building including hotel. There are about 100 guest rooms on hotel floors, and smoking is permitted in 30% of these rooms. Is it acceptable to apply case 1 option 2 for smoking guest rooms? There is a clearance under door of guest room to insert newspapers under the door, so it is impossible to have the door to be wetherstripping.

Referring to the credit language above you could need to follow Option 2, Case 2. I think you are asking if you can follow Option 2, Case 1 instead, and treat each guest room like a dedicated smoking room?I do not think this would be allowed by the credit language, and you would need to seek a LEED Interpretation to have it allowed. You would need to spell out how you could meet the requirements of that case, including a realistic assessment of the HVAC requirements.
