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?

Hello I have a project that is very close to LEED Gold. I am trying to lock down one more point. The project is in the final phase of the construction submission for LEED. The project is completed and occupied. Is it still possible to still comply with this credit? We would follow the Air Quality Testing requirements. Thanks!

For v3, 2009, I believe you still have to perform Air Quality Testing prior to occupancy. Have you or your client exhausted all of the lower lying fruit, such as Green Power, and all possible ID points to get you over the Gold threshold?

Unfortunately we have gone after everything possible post construction completion (green power, m&v, all ID creits, etc.) Thanks for the response

I have a question in regards to this. Our company on the other hand ran the Air Quality Testing before occupancy, but wasn't compliant in all categories. The issue is the building is now occupied. Can we run a second test and still earn this credit (if we are compliant) while occupied? Thank you.

the reference guide states "resample and confirm compliance before allowing occupancy"

David: If our client could validate that their medical facility wasn't 100% occupied. Could we provided a narrative to prove so and try to resample? As your comment references on March 19, 2014 in regards to occupancy. The building is not currently 100% serving it's intended use. It is a medical clinic (behavioral health, medical clinic, pharmacy, optical, dental, administration, and physically therapy). But dental will not be occupied and used till January.

your approach may work if you could demonstrate that the areas of the project building found to exceed the allowable limits were not occupied until a flush out and a successful retest occured.
