FAQs about IEQc1.5 :

What kind of construction or renovation activities count as a facility alteration/addition? We had the flooring removed and replaced, does that count?

Our facility is located in a climate where it will be difficult to maintain the 60 degrees F and 60% humidity requirements associated with the flush-out. Is there anyway to bypass this requirement?

Can we substitute the IAQ testing requirements from other rating systems instead of performing the required flush-out?

There will be several small building alterations completed to our project building during the performance period (vestibule and lobby upgrades, demo and tenant finish build out for entire floor, toilet room upgrades). Can the building flush out occur after all of these alterations are complete? Some will overlap but some will be started after others are complete. However all will occur during 12 month performance period. Thanks!

Julie, It would be better to flush out the altered areas as the work is completed for each area. That way any odors from a floor build-out are mitigated before that space gets occupied, rather than waiting for projects in other parts of the building to be completed.

Thanks, David. That makes sense.The Owner's representative is not happy about flushing out the building after every small project but it sounds as if that's the requirement.
