FAQs about EQp2 :

Municipal law requires that our building be completely smoke-free inside. It also bans smoking next to the building, but it’s not as stringent as the 25 foot LEED requirement. Do we have to make another policy that bans smoking within 25 feet?

We want to designate a smoking area less than 25 feet from an emergency exit. Is this okay since that door is rarely (if ever) used?

What if I have a zero lot line property and no control over the sidewalk?

What about vaping and e-cigarettes?

What about residential balconies?

NC-v4 EQp2:Environmental tobacco smoke control

Option 1 and Option 2

I just need clarification on something. In the reference guide, it states "Residential only" for Option 1. I thought Option 2 is only for residential as this option allows indoor smoking as long as you compartmentalize each residential unit. Wouldn't Option 1 refer to other types of buildings?

Jen, I think the way the language is written is tripping you up a bit. The "no smoking" rules apply to all building types. Those are the first few paragraphs of the credit language.If the project is residential, then the two options are available to you. The first option is just a restating of the overall credit requirements.
