FAQs about IEQp2 :

Do I have to provide a designated smoking area?

How can I prohibit smoking 25 feet from the entrance of my project when it is a zero lot line and its entrance abuts a public sidewalk?

How do you calculate the 25 ft. rule from designated smoking areas to building openings?

We have a strict no-smoking policy and local smoking laws that all our employees are familiar with. Can we skip the signage?

Does this prerequisite apply to e-cigarettes? What about marijuana?

Timing of blower door tests

When can the blower door test take place? Can it be done when the drywall has been completed or do the cabinetry and appliances need to be installed as well?

As far as I know the timing of blower door tests is not specified by the referenced standards, and is not specified by the LEED language, so you could perform it at the most reasonable time for the project, in accordance with the credit intent. My concern here would be that installation of nonmovable furniture could cause wall or other penetrations that would allow leakage. I would take steps to avoid this and/or hold off on testing.
