I think that you can be successful on this credit if you write a very good narrative and perhaps do a diagram that demonstrates that people will not enter the building you are working on directly. However, is there a problem with providing entry way systems in your phase just in case people do end up using those doors regularly?

Thanks! I'll let you all know if we are successful with the narrative. There are multiple problems with locating mats inside the cancer center. One is the sudden appearance of a dirt collecting floor system inside a hospital and the second is phasing and the slight changing of the connecting corridor over time.

I know I am a little late, but I did find a LEED Interpretation that seems to deal with this issue. It is #5266 in the LEED Interpretations database on the USGBC website.

I saw that but it seemed like the first entry had entry grilles and then you did not need them into the project building. Here we have an entry building that does not have entry grilles and a project building that also does not have entry grilles.

Hey! We got our review back and since I promised feedback, here it is. The approach above was accepted without comment. We put together drawings showing the first phase and the final phase floor plans along with a short narrative. For each one, we measured the mat systems and showed the walking distance from that door into the Cancer Center.
