One point of credit is available for including a Construction Environmental Quality Management Plan in the project specifications. This plan requires all of the following to be noted:
� Protect construction materials from water damage during construction. � Cover / seal ducts and registers during construction. � Clean duct boots prior to occupancy. � For rehabilitation projects, implement a dust control plan that prevents particulates from migrating into occupied areas. � Complete applications of wet and odorous materials( such as paints, sealants, and coating) before installing absorbent materials such as carpets and fabric covered furnishings.
� Open windows and door for at least eight hours a day for a period of two weeks prior to occupancy. Finishes or materials that offgas volatile organic compounds( VOCs) must be installed before this official flush-out period begins. Use 100 % outside are during flush-out. The flush-out period does not need to occur overnight or compromise security. Do not conduct the flush-out when site work or dust compromises the intent of the flush-out.
VERIFICATION
DRAFT
Field Verification: The Rater must conduct appropriate verifications at rough and final to ensure that required practices are being implemented, such as protection of ducts and on-site stored or installed absorptive materials. The Rater shall take representative photos of required practices.
