Prereq 2 Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) Control
Intent Prevent or minimize exposure of building occupants, indoor surfaces and systems to Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS)
Requirement Option A. Prohibit smoking in the building; Prohibit smoking in the building. Locate any exterior designated smoking areas at least 25 feet away from building entries, outdoor air intakes and operable windows. Option B. Establish negative pressure in the rooms with smoking: Prohibit smoking in the building except in designated smoking areas; Locate any exterior designated smoking areas at least 25 feet away from building entries, outdoor air intakes and operable windows; Provide one or more designated smoking rooms designed to effectively contain, capture and remove ETS from the building. At a minimum, the smoking room must be directly exhausted to the outdoors, away from air intakes and building entry paths, with no re-circulation of ETS-containing air to the non-smoking area of the building and enclosed with impermeable deck-to-deck partitions and operated at a negative pressure compared with the surrounding spaces of at least an average of 5 Pa (0.02 inches water gauge) and with a minimum of 1 Pa (0.004 inches water gauge) when the door(s) to the smoking room are closed. Verify performance of the smoking room differential air pressures by conducting 15 minutes of measurement, with a minimum of one measurement every 10 seconds, of the differential pressure in the smoking room with respect to each adjacent area and in each adjacent vertical chase with the doors to the smoking room closed. The testing will be conducted with each space configured for worst case conditions of transport of air from the smoking rooms to adjacent spaces.
