FAQs about IEQc5 :

Our building has a green cleaning program and is earning an ID credit for it, based on the LEED-EBOM IEQc3 requirements. Can we skip the exhaust requirements for our janitor rooms?

Should track-off mats being used on the project to meet IEQc5 requirements be included in IEQc4.3 credit requirements?

What is the definition of a high-volume copier?

Do I need to provide dedicated exhaust for my printer or copier?

I do not have 10' of space inside my building entrance to install a walk-off system. Can I include one on the exterior? Can the shape be irregular?

What does ‘regularly used exterior entrance’ mean and how do I know which of my building entrances falls under this category?

Are entryway mats required for a building entrance from another building?

Can I use carpet tile as a track-off system? What about carpet?

I have school with a wood shop. There is a dust collector that exhausts saw dust from the equipment and recirculates the air back to the space after being filtered. The credit says "sufficiently exhaust hazardous gases or chemicals....in shops of any kind... with no air recirulation." Saw dust is not hazardous gases or chemicals, and I have dedicated exhaust in the storage rooms where those types would be kept. Would I still be able to pursue IEQc5?

My first instinct would be no. You cannot have air recirculation in shops... however I have not worked on a wood shop specifically. Anyone else?
