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?

I have a middle school slated to be completed this coming summer. It will be in late July. Each classroom has a dedicated ground source heat pump air handling unit. Also, there are 5-6 roof mounted DOAS units. The gym and cafeteria has H&V units. Since the DOAS will most likely be supplying the outside air to all of the various heat pumps could the approach be to do sufficient tests in relation to the area being served by each DOAS and ignore the Heat Pumps for each classroom? The formula would then look like one test per 25,000 sq feet of each DOAS unit and one outside test to satisfy all indoor tests?

J.R., seems reasonable to me. However, LEED has loosened its specific requirements in this area so it's a bit of a judgement call. I'd recommend reviewing our advice above, if you haven't already.
