Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

This is the requirement for the Indoor Environmental Quality prerequisite Environmental Tobacco Smoke Control, which applies to all LEED BD+C rating systems. The intent is to prevent or minimize exposure of building occupants, indoor surfaces, and ventilation air distribution systems to environmental tobacco smoke. The no-smoking signage must explicitly state the 25 ft. (8 m) limit and communicate the no-smoking policy to occupants.

Wait, we have buildings that allow smoking? I thought that was, like, illegal or something. Learn something new every day!

Haha, the real question is, who's actually going to read the signs anyway? Just put them everywhere and hope for the best!

I agree with Carmela, it makes sense to have the signage close to all entrances.

I'll go with C. 25 ft seems like a reasonable distance to cover the whole building perimeter. Can't be too cautious when it comes to fire hazards!

D sounds good to me. You only need the signage at the main entrances, not all the smaller ones. Less clutter, you know?

I think the correct answer is A. It makes sense to have the no-smoking signage within 10 ft of all building entrances to ensure everyone is aware of the policy.
