FAQs about IEQp2 :

We have a strict no-smoking policy and local smoking laws that all our employees are familiar with. Can we skip the signage?

Does this prerequisite apply to e-cigarettes? What about marijuana?

Do I have to provide a designated smoking area?

How can I prohibit smoking 25 feet from the entrance of my project when it is a zero lot line and its entrance abuts a public sidewalk?

How do you calculate the 25 ft. rule from designated smoking areas to building openings?

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

Vestibule for going out to a terrace

The owner wants to let users smoke in a 6mx6m terrace. Because of the 8 meters prohibition, he suggests to have an 8-meter long, positively pressurised vestibule before the terrace exit. Does anyone know if this strategy will be accepted by the reviewers?

Gustavo, I am not sure that the reviewers will accept this strategy. I have not heard of any teams using a vestibule to meet the 8 meter requirement for outdoor smoking areas. It may be worth requesting a Project Credit Interpretation Ruling (CIR) for guidance on whether or not a pressurized vestibule as you describe would comply with the requirements.
