Hello everyone,

Our Team is trying to achieve the credit by pursuing Option 2. Certified IPM service. As the Company we are analyzing operates in Italy and it has acquired several certifications, we were wondering whether the UNI EN 16636:2015 could be considered a valid local equivalent for the credit.

Thanks in advance!

FAQs about EQc2:

Some of our tenants have their own pest management contracts. Do we have to track their pest control activities for LEED?

If I am using a certified pest management provider, do I have to complete an IPM plan and IPM tracking tool?

If pest management of interior/exterior plants is conducted by a separate vendor, do they have to comply with the IPM requirements?

We have notified the tenants 24 hours prior to the pesticide application but now the pest control vendor needs to refill the toxic pesticide. Do we need to use universal notification for a refill?

If I’m only applying pesticides to one floor in my building. Am I required to notify all tenants, or can I just notify the occupants on that floor?

What do I do if have a project outside the U.S. where many of the pesticides listed on the San Francisco Reduced-Risk Pesticide List are not available?

Is there a required frequency for pest service site visits in order to be considered integrated pest management? How frequent and how rigorous should the inspections be in order to comply?
