FAQs about IEQc5 :

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?

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?

Toner-less copiers

Would copiers (Xerox ColorQube 9303, specifically) that don't use toner but solid ink technology need to be kept in exhausted rooms, per IEQc5? This question assumes they are high-volume copiers.

I would suspect the LEED review won't have heard of the benefits of using solid ink technology. If you can prove that the technology emits little to no VOCs, etc and has no adverse effect on IAQ then you may be able to get away with not exhausting the room. I'd recommend including a detailed document showing measured IAQ benefits of using solid ink technology.

Elizabeth, I am glad you posted this on this forum, as we are in the process of remodeling an existing building and it didn't make sense to vent a closet space just to try to address the VOC emissions from an office copier. So your recommendation of the Xerox ColorQube 9300 series made me look it up and I think we will have elliminated approximately $10K from the fit-out budget by choosing a copier that doesn't introduce hazardous materials into the work environment. Please let us know if your efforts to meet this portion of the credits are successful!
