NC-2009 IDc1:Innovation in Design

Pre construction ductwork cleaning

My project is a full renovation of a 1920's high school for use as a new middle school. The owner ordered a full video inspection of the existing ductwork. Most of the ductwork showed fair to moderate loose debris. I would like to suggest to the owner that we do a full negative air sweep cleaning of the ductwork systems prior to construction. Is this eligible for an ID credit?

Cynthia, the question of whether a specific strategy qualifies for ID credit comes up a lot, so we have an FAQ above that goes into some detail. I would recommend reviewing that. (If you are not yet a LEEDuser member you can join using the free trial offer at the top of the page.)My opinion, based on the kind of guidance we have offered, is that this strategy is not innovative enough, or comprehensive in nature. Duct cleaning is fairy common and a lot of projects simply use new ducts and thus they start out clean.
