PEREQUISITE Minimum Indoor Air Quality Performance
REQUIRMENT (2)
Meet the requirements for both ventilation and monitoring.
PEREQUISITE Environmental Tobacco Smoke Control
INTENT
To prevent or minimize exposure of building occupants, indoor surfaces, and ventilation air distribution systems to environmental tobacco smoke.
PEREQUISITE Environmental Tobacco Smoke Control
REQUIREMENTS OPTION 1
Locate the project in a building that prohibits smoking by all occupants and users both inside the building
and outside the building except in designated smoking areas located at least X from all
entries, outdoor air intakes, and operable windows. Also prohibit smoking outside the property line in
spaces used for business purposes.
Signage must be posted within Y of all building entrances indicating the no-smoking policy
X; 25 feet (7.5 meters)
Y ; 10 feet (3 meters)
PEREQUISITE Environmental Tobacco Smoke Control
REQUIREMENTS OPTION 2
Prohibit smoking in the project spaces.
Smoking must also be prohibited in all common areas used by the project occupants and any areas of the building served by the same HVAC system as the project.
If smoking is permitted in other areas of the building, ensure that ETS cannot migrate by either mechanical or natural ventilation into the project spaces.
Communicate the no-smoking policy to occupants of the project. Have in place provisions for enforcement or no-smoking signage
PEREQUISITE Environmental Tobacco Smoke Control
REQUIREMENTS
For this prerequisite smoking includes …3.
- tobacco smoke,
- combustion of cannabis and controlled substances
- electronic smoking devices.

Case 2. Systems Unable to Meet Required Outdoor Airflow Rates
If meeting the outdoor airflow rates in Case 1 is not feasible because of the physical constraints of the existing ventilation system, complete an engineering assessment of the system’s maximum outdoor air delivery rate.
Supply the maximum possible to reach the minimum setpoint in Case 1 and not less than X of outdoor air per person.
X 10 cubic feet per minute (5 liters per second)

3 REQUIREMENTS (1 NORME)
- Provide a direct exhaust airflow measurement device capable of measuring the exhaust airflow with an
accuracy of +/–10% of the design minimum exhaust airflow rate. An alarm must indicate when airflow values vary by 15% or more from the exhaust airflow setpoint.
·2· Provide automatic indication devices on all natural ventilation openings intended to meet the minimum
