Was your site previously a landfill, or has it been contaminated by a nearby landfill? If so, you cannot earn this prerequisite, which will also put a stop to your LEED certification. If your project is near a landfill, and no contamination is found through the Phase I or Phase II Environmental Site Assessment (ESA), you’re in the clear.
Follow your SOPs for entryway maintenance and keep a log of cleaning and maintenance frequency.

To document the credit provide a ground level floorplan that notes where the entryway mats are. Highlight emergency exits and infrequently used entryways and personal office entryways for which the mats are not provided. See the Documentation Toolkit for
To document the credit provide a ground level floorplan that notes where the entryway mats are. Highlight emergency exits and infrequently used entryways and personal office entryways for which the mats are not provided. See the Documentation Toolkit for an example of this. You can also provide photos of entryway systems as supporting documentation if desired.
Purchasing or renting compliant entryway mats should not be very expensive, but prices can vary so check with local vendors. Installing new grilles and grates could entail substantial cost and is less likely to be pursued.

Make sure the entryway system is right for climate conditions and doesn’t impede egress in case of fire or get in people’s way. In regions that experience frequent rain or snow, it will make sense to use absorbent mats to minimize the risk of slippage.&nb

Make sure there are standard operating procedure (SOP) manuals covering the cleaning and maintenance of entryways—such as vacuuming, mopping, and cleaning spills as necessary. If not, project teams should develop manuals that describe the process and frequency for cleaning the entryways. This provides cleaning personnel with guidelines for cleaning and maintaining entryway systems.
