I am currently working on a project that intends to pursue LEED certification. We have run the checklist, and 58 points have fallen into place. Unfortunately, the landlord of the building currently does not prohibit smoking within 25' of entry ways and air intakes. We have pressured them to implement a policy that does that, and they have not been agreeable. The project is in California, which has laws in place to prohibit smoking inside buildings, but there are no requirements for keeping smokers 25' away from entries. It seems to me the USGBC/ GBCI allows alternate compliance paths on some prerequisites, but I have not been able to find any information on this on any forums or CIR postings for this particular prerequisite. in fact, this is the first site I have encountered that does not meet the 25' LEED requirements. Is there any way to alternately satisfy the intent of this prerequisite if we have no control over the landlord and the lease is already signed? I would hate to have to abandon the goal of LEED due to one prerequisite that is controlled by the landlord and not the tenant. Please advise.
