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

Smoking Prohibition in a Border Crossing Building

We are assessing the possibility of pursuing LEED Certification for a Complex of four buildings at the Border Crossing between Chile and Argentina. One of these buildings is residential and will house the Customs officers and employees bedrooms and resting areas. In this particular building, the architect is considering an smoking designated room (which complies with the exhaust and isolation requirements) but we think this building must comply with requirements for Residential Projects which means non-smoking indoor and blower door test. Are we right? or is enough to comply by providing the designated smoking area?. Thanks in advance.

Maria, it depends on whether you would classify the buildnig as simply "non-residential" and follow Case 1, or "residential or hospitality" and follow Case 2. Sounds like this could be debated on your project, but that Case 2 may be most appropriate. In that situation, you are right.
