A designated staff person or vendor logs all pest management activities. In the event that toxic pesticides must be administered, record how and when universal notification was provided.
Contractors involved in various elements of the IPM plan conduct work according to their contracts and report all relevant activities to building management.
Additional costs may be incurred if you need to buy modeling software or hire a qualified engineer to perform this assessment. Unless this assessment was performed and documented during the design phase of the building, it’s unlikely that the costs to retroactively perform the assessment are worth pursuit of this credit, since it would not generally be feasible to change the natural ventilation system design in an existing building just for the purposes of this credit.
Project teams using this option need to show that ventilation rates are 30% better than the ASHRAE standard. The LEED Reference Guide does not make this clear, but it is a requirement for compliance.
Your model must indicate the room-by-room airflow rates predicted by the analysis and demonstrate that 90% of the occupied building areas are effectively ventilated by natural means to provide the minimum ventilation rates required by ASHRAE 62.1-2007.
You may also provide the same information required for Option 1 in the format of a macroscopic, multi-zone, analytic model that predicts room-by-room airflow rates.
