FAQs about IEQc3.2 :

Should we install furniture and furnishings before IAQ testing or flushout?

The air temperature and/or relative humidity went out of the credit requirement specifications for a portion of the flush-out. What do we do? Can we extend the flush-out for the equivalent amount of time to make up for it?

Schools-2009 IEQc3.2:Construction IAQ Management Plan—Before Occupancy

How to conduct a flush out during a phased construction project

We are working on a renovation project where construction is being conducted in phases. The first phase will be occupied with temporary floor finishes in some spaces prior to final install of floors in public areas. Can we still conduct a flush out of the building and have it fulfill the requirements of this credit after the final flooring is installed if the area of the building has been occupied?

Cheryl,Yes, I think you should be able to comply by using Option 1 Path 2. You can see details in the Credit Language tab above.

Would the flush out begin after final floor finishes are installed or would the initial phase of the flush out begin before occupancy when the temporary finishes are still in use?

Cheryl, IMO you would not be meeting the intent of the credit if you plan on installing new finishes after occupancy. The credit language states that either the full flush out or the partial flush out shall be complete that prior to occupancy and with all interior finishes installed.
