During the Performance Period

Shipping and handling costs must be consistently included or excluded in your calculations if you decide to track by cost. 

It's a good idea to track your purchases on an Equipment Inventory tracking sheet separate from the LEED Online credit form so that the documentation is easily accessible throughout the performance period. See the Documentation Toolkit for an example you can use. 

If your vendor is responsible for repairing and maintaining the cleaning equipment, make sure that the vendor knows how to track all relevant activities in an easy-to-use log.

Be sure to track all equipment maintenance and repair activities during the performance period. Such activities include, but are not limited to, vacuum bag replacement, mechanical repairs, and cleaning the machines.

Since all equipment purchased during the performance period must comply with the associated criteria, make sure to track all equipment purchases throughout the performance period. 

During flush-outs, track airflow, duration, and any environmental or procedural conditions that impact the flush-out. If anything unusual happens, document it. Include this information as supporting documentation with the LEED submittal.

Maintain a photo log of the construction practices that followed your IAQ management plan.

Use plastic sheeting and other physical barriers to separate the construction area from occupied areas.

Identify any necessary changes to the HVAC settings during the flush-out, and calculate the duration based on the calculation above.

Calculate the volume of fresh air to be blown into the space after construction Multiply the floor area of the impacted space by the required volume of outside air to determine the total volume of fresh air to be supplied to the space.
