construction to identify the practices being used to minimize future IAQ problems.

formaldehyde and 4-Phenylcyclohexene (4-PCH).

Call us if you would like to discuss the benefits of the acceptable alternative methods to achieve this credit.
Prerequisite 2 – Environmental Tobacco Smoke Option 3 has proven to be a
challenging credit to obtain, in part because the LEED® specified test methods were originally written for single family residences and to achieve this credit the method must be applied to units within a multi-unit complex. Despite the challenges EHSI/Healthy Buildings has successfully worked with clients to help them achieve this prerequisite credit. Call us to discuss how we may be able to assist you achieve this credit as well.
