FAQs about IEQp2 :

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?

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?

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? They are emitting no ETS so the intent of the credit seems to be met. Do you support this estimation? Andreas PS: ... by mistake I posted this request under IEQp1 before

Andreas, on a practical level, with the building already certified, it's up to building management to decide that. If this were to come up with LEED—and it hasn't officially, to my knowledge—I would say it would not be allowed. From what I have read in online articles, the safety of e-cigarettes is not very well-established. I'd like to see more testing before hanging out around them.
