Hi, I have project seeking certification that has cooking demonstration rooms, flavours laboratory and a staff cafeteria. Natural gas is piped to the staff cafeteria kitchens and the demonstration rooms. Other gases (nitrogen, oxygen) are piped to labs from adjacent internal (but vented) gas bottle stores. Do all of the above locations have to be documented for compliance with IEQc5? Sean

Natural gas is a common utility and I haven't heard of it coming up in the context of IEQc5. Unless it's being stored inside the building, perhaps?I am not sure that nitrogen and oxygren are what the authors of this credit had in mind with the requirement for venting spaces, but they do seem like potentially hazardous gases that would fall under the requirements here. Does that help?

NFPA standards for gas storage likely cover you for this credit. I would document it.
