FAQs about IEQp2 :

Our outside smoking area is located less than 25 feet from an emergency exit. Is this okay since that door is rarely (if ever) used?

EBOM-2009 IEQp2:Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) Control

Smoking 25 feet from operable windows

Our building has a no smoking policy and will be posting no smoking signage at all entrances "No smoking within 25 feet of building entrance." However, the windows on the second floor are operable and within range of 25 feet from the sidewalk (some less than 25 feet some more than 25 feet from the ground). What are the best options for the building with this scenario? To prevent all second floor windows from opening would cost $5,000. To change the signage to read "no smoking anywhere" doesn't seem to make sense either. It is a NYC building with only a portion of the sidewalk on the property. How best to meet this prerequisite?

Anna Basically you can't succeed....and GBCI know this. While you can 'request' that there is no smoking within 25ft, if it's a public sidewalk you're stuck...if it was private ground then of course you could dictate. Create a narrative and site plan for GBCI explaining the layout...the prereq will pass.
