FAQs about IEQc3.2 :

Should we install furniture and furnishings before IAQ testing or flushout?

The air temperature and/or relative humidity went out of the credit requirement specifications for a portion of the flush-out. What do we do? Can we extend the flush-out for the equivalent amount of time to make up for it?

Dear all, We have a project where we intend to pursue Option 1 Path 1, We will install furniture after completing the flush-out, but the architect is concerned about the carpet installation, and wants to postpone carpet installation after flush-out as well so that it doesn't become a sink for pollutants. My question is that: is carpet considered as "Interior Finish", in that case it must be installed before flush out? or can I consider it with furnishing, knowing that it has terrazzo tiles beneath it? Another question is that: can I flush with new (F-7) filters that have been used during TAB, knowing that these filters were not used during construction? Thanks

We encounter the same issue, since the project is hotel and the handing over will be faces without furniture. We selected the phased flush out option ( early occupancy phased flush out) the commencement day of the second phase will be after install all furniture and furnishings. However we will submit an inquiry to GBCI to check the validation of such strategy.
