FAQs about IEQc5 :

I do not have 10' of space inside my building entrance to install a walk-off system. Can I include one on the exterior? Can the shape be irregular?

What does ‘regularly used exterior entrance’ mean and how do I know which of my building entrances falls under this category?

Are entryway mats required for a building entrance from another building?

Can I use carpet tile as a track-off system? What about carpet?

Our building has a green cleaning program and is earning an ID credit for it, based on the LEED-EBOM IEQc3 requirements. Can we skip the exhaust requirements for our janitor rooms?

Should track-off mats being used on the project to meet IEQc5 requirements be included in IEQc4.3 credit requirements?

What is the definition of a high-volume copier?

Do I need to provide dedicated exhaust for my printer or copier?

I would. I generally include any type of lab in this credit.

Hmmm... working on Environment & Natural Resources building with "teaching labs" that consist of lecture style arangement of furniture: chairs and tables lined up to face a presentation wall. No sinks, no fume hoods, no storage of chemicals of any kind. Pretty sure this is a classroom labelled "lab" because that word holds more appeal to these students. Guess I'd better clarify this in my narrative.

That sounds like the right approach. The word lab will raise a flag.
