Within EQp1: Construction Management, which practice should be included to promote a healthier and safer...

LEED v5 EQp1: Construction Management specifically requires smoking to be prohibited during construction except in designated smoking areas located at least 25 ft. (7.5 m) from the building. The project must also install signage communicating the prohibition. This construction-phase measure protects workers and prevents tobacco smoke from contaminating building materials and indoor environments. Baseline IAQ testing described in Option B occurs after construction and before occupancy and belongs to the Air Quality Testing and Monitoring credit rather than the construction-management prerequisite. Outdoor airflow measurement devices are associated with ventilation-system air-quality requirements and are not the specified construction-phase practice in this scenario. Therefore, establishing designated smoking areas at least 25 ft. from the building is the correct EQp1 construction-management measure. U.S. Green Building Council
