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?

Hospitality-NC-v4 EQp2:Environmental Tobacco Smoke Control

Smoking in Hotel Rooms in a Hospitality project

We have been asked this question from a hotel who wants to go for LEED V4 Certification. As per LEED V4, no smoking is allowed inside the building but some concessions have been provided for residential projects (compartmentalization of Smoking areas). But it seems to be for residential project, not for hospitality. Our client have problem wtih this as they do not want this project to be entirely smoking free and still want to go for LEED Certification.

 

How to go about it.

Hi - Did you ever make any further determination on this?  Were you able to determine if there is any way to have smoking in a hotel room under LEED v4? Thank you.

I don't think there are any alternative pathways for meeting the ETS prerequisite in hospitality projects. The Rating System Variations section of the Reference Guide allows healthcare projects to follow the compartmentalization option, but says nothing about hotels. LEED v4.1 doesn't appear to offer any alternatives either.
