Credit 3.2 Construction IAQ Management Plan, Before Occupancy
Intent Reduce indoor air quality problems resulting from the construction/renovation process, to sustain long- term worker and occupant comfort and well-being
Requirement Develop and implement an Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Management Plan for the preoccupancy phases as follows: OPTION A: Flush-out procedure: After construction ends and with all interior finishes installed, as described in the CI Reference Guide, install new filtration media and flush-out the building by supplying a total air volume of 14,000 cu.ft. of outdoor air per sq.ft. of floor area while maintaining an internal temperature of at least 60 degrees Fahrenheit and, where mechanical cooling is operated, relative humidity no higher than 60%. The space may only be occupied following delivery of a minimum of 3,500 cu.ft. of outdoor air sq. ft. of floor area to the space, and provided the space is ventilated at minimum rate of 0.30 cfm/sq.ft. of outside air or the design minimum outside air rate, whichever is greater, a minimum of three hours prior to occupancy and during occupancy, until the total of 14,000 cu.ft./sq.ft. of outside air has been delivered to the space. OR OPTION B IAQ test procedure: Conduct baseline IAQ testing, after construction ends and prior to occupancy, using testing protocols consistent with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Compendium of Methods for the Determination of Air Pollutants in Indoor Air and as additionally detailed in the CI Reference Guide
