IEQp2 - EBO+M

Hi again - This prerequisite requires a smoking policy and a method of communicating that policy to all building occupants, both FTEs and visitors. The most comprehensive way of demonstrating prerequisite compliance would be a written policy that is provided to FTEs and signage at all entries roughly stating “No smoking within 25 feet.” However, existing signage that only says “No Smoking” - with no specification of distance – does meet current prerequisite requirements. Similarly, while signage can be at main entrances and any exits where the building management has observed violations, there is not an explicit requirement that signage be placed at every entrance. If your projects appears to have been assessed by more stringent standards, please let us know by selecting “Questions about Review Comments” on our Contact Page: http://www.gbci.org/org-nav/contact/Contact-Us/Project-Certification-Questions.aspx. In this instance though, I will contact you offline to follow up. And thank you for noting that project teams should be aware that these requirements may become more strict in the next version of the rating system! Megan R/S
