For a multi-unit residential building that permits smoking, what should be done to achieve Environmental Tobacco Smoke Control?
A: Install impermeable deck-to-deck partitions

参考答案: C

本题解释:
Notes:

See Indoor Environmental Quality Prerequisite, Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) Control, Requirements

This question asks about residential buildings.

Multi-unit residential units require:
-Sealing penetrations
-Weather stripping doors to common hallways
-Blower door test for sealing
-Demonstrate less than 1.25 square inches of leakage / 100 square feet of enclosure area, using the HERS methodology

Non-residential projects require
No smoking inside, limited to 25 ft. of entries, outdoor air intakes and operable windows

OR

-Designated smoking rooms with dedicated exhaust systems, deck to deck partitions, and operating at a negative pressure of at least an average of 5 Pa with a minimum of 1 Pa when the doors are closed.

-Verify the differential pressure of the smoking room by conducting 15 minutes of measurement, with a minimum of 1 measurement every 10 seconds
