Inquiry

Because system is non-ducted w/ exhaust ventilation, there are no filtering requirements for this project. If however the project chooses to install a MERV 8, 10, or 13 stand alone filtration system (whether ducted or non-ducted) are they entitled to the points?

Ruling

A stand-alone filtration system does not qualify for any points in LEED for Homes unless it can be demonstrated that the system is a permanent fixture of the home, and that the filtration system will accommodate the entire home.
