What is IEQ Credit 5 called?
Indoor Chemical & Pollutant Source Control
What is the intent of Indoor Chemical & Pollutant Source Control Credit?
Avoid exposure to potentially hazardous chemicals that adversely impact air quality.
How many points are available for Indoor Chemical & Pollutant Source Control?
One
What is the requirement of IEQ Credit 5?
Minimize cross contamination of regularly occupied areas by chemical pollutants.
What is required for Indoor Chemical & Pollutant Source Control Credit?
Permanent entry way systems to capture dirt; provide areas with deck-to-deck partitions with separate outside exhausting; provide drains for appropriate disposal of liquid waste where needed.
What are the strategies to meet IEQ Credit 5?
Design separate exhaust and plumbing systems for rooms with contaminants to achieve physical isolation from the rest of the building; install permanent architectural entryway systems such as grills and grates.
What is IEQ Credit 6 called?
Controllability of Systems
How many points are available for Controllability of Systems?
Two
What is the intent of Controllability of Systems Credit?
Provide a high level of individual occupant control of thermal, ventilation and lighting systems.
What is the requirement of IEQ 6.1?
Provide a minimum of 1 operable window and 1 control zone per 200 SF for all occupied spaces within 15 feet of the perimeter wall.
What is the requirement of IEQ 6.2?
Provide controls for each individual for airflow, temp, and lighting for 50% of the occupants in non-perimeter regularly occupied areas.
What are the strategies to achieve Controllability of Systems Credit?
Design for occupant controls: task lighting, operable windows, underfloor HVAC with individual diffusers.

What are the strategies to achieve Thermal Comfort Credit?
Establish temperature and humidity comfort ranges & design the building to maintain these comfort ranges; install and maintain a temperature and humidity monitoring system.
What is IEQ Credit 8 called?
Daylight & Views
How many points are available for Daylight & Views?
Two
What is the intent of Daylight & Views Credit?
Provide a connection between indoor spaces and outdoor environments.
What is the requirement of IEQ 8.1?
Achieve a minimum Daylight Factor of 2% in 75% of all space occupied for critical visual tasks.
What is the requirement of IEQ 8.2?
Direct line of sight to vision glazing from 90% of all regularly occupied spaces.
What are the techniques to achieve Daylight & Views Credit?
Design the building to maximize daylighting and view opportunities.
What are the strategies to achieve Daylight & Views Credit?
Building orientation, shallow floor plates, increased perimeter, interior and exterior shading devices, high performance glazing and photo integrated light sensors.
What areas are excluded from IEQ Credit 8.1?
Copy rooms, storage areas, mechanical, laundry and other low occupancy support areas.
What task areas are excluded from IEQ Credit 8.1?
Spaces where tasks would be hindered by the use of daylight or where accomplishing the specific task within a space would be enhanced by the direct penetration of sunlight.
What techniques verify Daylight & Views Credit?
Physical or computer modeling to assess footcandle and daylight factors.
