IAQ Audit Report
Your IAQ audit report should identify each system or space audited; include a summary of the audit procedures for indoor spaces, exterior spaces, and HVAC systems; and a summary of the results. A list of all IAQ-related issues or areas of opportunity discovered during the audit must be provided in the report. Additionally, the report must document that the remediation of all no-cost issues have occurred before the end of the performance period. For issues requiring costs to remedy, the report must establish a timeline and strategy for addressing each issue. See this sample report for examples.
Exhaust Systems Testing
You can use the form provided as a checklist for testing exhaust systems, and for recording results.
IPM Best Practices
If you're looking to better understand how your practices compare with IPM best practices, this chart compares common standard practices with best practices—plus "optimal practices," for good measure.
Tracking Purchases
Use this spreadsheet (with example provided) to track purchases of ongoing consumables during the performance period.
Renewable Energy Feasibility
Careful analysis of renewable energy feasibility is required for most projects. The example shown here was for a 20-kW system on a commercial building.
Photovoltaic (PV) Calculator
Use of photovoltaic (PV) electricity is the most common way to earn LEED points. This spreadsheet helps you analyze how much PV you need to earn LEED points, what it will cost, and how much it will reduce your project's carbon emissions.
