Dear all, one of our major clients set an interesting question concerning electronic cigarettes. In the building we already certified smoking is not allowed, but could be electronic cigarettes? It seems they are not emitting ETS so the intent of the credit is met. Do you support this estimation? Andreas

Andreas, This appears to be a judgement call. There are no LEED Police that will visit your building after you finish submitting to ensure no one is smoking in your building. Case in point, I visited a LEED Gold project in Vegas where everyone was smoking in the Casio (they did not appear to have the proper separations. You are required to have signage that prohibits smoking per IEQp2 (consider re-posting your question there).

Dylan, thank you very much - somehow I switched to p1 ;-) Actually my client wants ot have a proper LEED policy in his building, though the LEED Police maybe will never show up. I will repost my question under p2.

FYI, I found out that the Casio in Vegas had a special variance to allow them to smoke in their building.
