LEED COMPLIANCE IAQ MANAGEMENT PLAN 018115 - 1
SECTION 018115 - LEED COMPLIANCE IAQ MANAGEMENT PLAN
Market District Portage Crossing Cuyahoga Falls OH #4036
LEED Compliance Indoor Air Quality Management Plan
General Requirements for Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Management
1. The goal of this effort is to prevent contaminants present during construction from
compromising indoor air quality in the completed project.
2. The project seeks Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) NC/Retail version 3
certification. The requirements of this IAQ Plan are intended to comply with LEED IEQ Credit
3.1.
3. The Construction Manager and Contractors will include this IAQ Management Plan and any
agreed upon and approved revisions in the Scope of Work of all Subcontractors.
4. All Contractors and Subcontractors shall comply with this IAQ Management Plan.
5. Contractor and Subcontractors shall comply with requirements to maintain available for
reference on-site, material safety data sheets (MSDS) for all items used in the construction.
6. Provide materials and products for use on the project in original containers and suitably
protected from damage.
7. Cover and protect all materials stored on-site from moisture damage. Store materials on pallets
to avoid direct contact with grade or slabs.
8. Cover and protect installed absorptive materials from moisture and odor damage.
9. Schedule, protect and separate the work to avoid contamination or damage to installed items and
completed areas.
10. LEED documentation photographs with digital dates will be taken by the CM or GC monthly
during construction, showing implementation of the IAQ management measures listed in this
plan.
HVAC Implementation
1. Meet or exceed the minimum requirements of the Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors
National Association (SMACNA) IAQ Guidelines for Occupied Buildings under Construction,
2007, ANSI/SMACNA 008-2008 chapter 3. Maintain a copy of the guideline at the job site for
reference.
2. Provide temporary filtration media with Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) of 8 as
determined by ASHRAE 52.2-1999 in all HVAC equipment and intake/return air ductwork used
to temper the building during construction.
3. After construction is complete replace all filtration media with Minimum Efficiency Reporting
Value (MERV) of 13 in accordance with ASHRAE 52.2-1999 immediately prior to occupancy.
4. Provide manufacturer’s catalog data for filtration media used during construction and installed
immediately prior to occupancy and a schedule of filters used including manufacturer, filter
type, model number, location, size and MIRV rating. Include confirmation that each MERV 8
filter was properly replaced prior to occupancy.

HVAC Protection
1. Cover ductwork in the fabrication shop and when stored on-site to prevent dust contamination.
Immediately after installation protect all open supply ducts, return ducts, and diffusers from
contamination by covering openings with minimum 4 mil plastic sealed at the perimeter with
duct tape. Keep protection in place until start-up of the HVAC equipment. Install filters with a
MERV rating of 8 at the inlet of each unit and at the inlet of all associated return air ducts and
diffusers immediately before starting units to be used to temper spaces during construction.
Acceptable media include disposable filters, reusable filters, and filter fabric that has a minimum
MERV 8 rating. Install and maintain media in a tight manner that filters ALL intake air.
2. Do not use mechanical rooms for storage of dust and odor producing materials when mechanical
equipment is in place.
3. Regularly change filtration media at intervals to maintain effective filtration. If dust
contamination of HVAC systems occurs due to Subcontractor’s failure to maintain effective
filtration, the Subcontractor will be required to clean all ductwork and equipment.
Source Control
1. Use low-emitting materials including low-emitting paints, carpeting, adhesives, solvents and
composite wood products to the greatest extent possible to minimize contamination of interior
spaces. See Division 1, Section Sustainable Design Requirements for related requirements for
low-emitting materials.
2. Isolate, ventilate and recover containers of toxic and odor producing materials in a manner that
does not contaminate the facility.
3. Exhaust spaces when dust and odor producing activities are occurring.
4. Use propane and/or electric lifts in lieu of gasoline or diesel powered lifts.
5. Restrict traffic volume or prohibit idling of motor vehicles where emissions could be drawn into
interior spaces.
6. Use electric-powered equipment in lieu of gasoline or diesel powered equipment.
7. Turn off equipment when not in use.
8. Use vacuum-assisted drywall sanders and concrete saws to control dust. Install dust collection
bags on all dust-producing equipment.
9. Keep containers of liquid and odor producing products closed when not in use.
10. Use an enclosed tanker instead of open kettle if required for roofing work.
Pathway Interruption
1. Provide walk off mats or “sticky” mats at transition points between construction areas and
occupied common spaces such as stairwells and lobbies to prevent migration of dust and
contaminants, if any.
2. Erect dust tight construction barriers with walk off mats to contain construction area dust and
odors from sections of building that are complete or occupied, if any.
3. Protect installed absorptive materials to prevent contamination from ongoing construction
activities.
4. Depressurize and ventilate spaces directly with outside air during odor producing activities.

Housekeeping
1. Regularly sweep installed slabs using an environmentally friendly sweeping compound or
wetting agent to minimize airborne dust. Clean other surfaces to avoid airborne dust.
2. Use HEPA vacuum filters during cleaning.
3. Immediately clean all spills or excess application of solvent-containing products.
4. Restrict smoking to an area at minimum 25 feet away from the building once it is enclosed or
absorptive materials such as insulation, carpet, drywall or ceilings are stored in the building.
5. Completely clean work areas prior to occupancy including any equipment or ductwork that was
inadvertently contaminated during construction.
Scheduling
1. Schedule construction activities to minimize disruption to occupied areas.
2. Schedule odor producing activities at times when existing building is not occupied if odor
penetration into occupied spaces is possible.
3. Schedule odor producing activities prior to installation of absorptive finishes whenever possible.
4. Allow sufficient time in construction schedule to permit flushout or air quality testing prior to
required occupancy date.
