[null,"MA",14.2,"MA 14.2 Actions to Take if There is Not a Smoke-Free Policy \nIf there is a pattern of complaints and the building does not have an interior and exterior smoke-free policy, take the appropriate actions, when feasible, in the following order, for the most effective ETS control strategy: 1) Source Control, 2) Ventilation and Air-pressure Control, 3) Air Sealing.\n1. Source Control\n• Propose developing and implementing a smoke free policy to the building management. See Appendix B: Property Management and Occupant Education for guidance on implementing a smoke-free policy. Note: Eliminating ETS through a building-wide smoke-free policy is the most effective, and cost efficient, method of controlling ETS. There is no safe level of ETS exposure and no engineering technique can eliminate ETS infiltration. This guidance recognizes that eliminating smoking in all multifamily residential buildings is not immediately possible. Therefore, alternative techniques for reducing exposure are also discussed.  \n• Propose including an exterior smoking policy that prohibits smoking within a specified distance (e.g., 10, 20, or 25 feet) from the building’s operable windows, entryways, and outdoor air intakes. Consider following ASHRAE Standard 189.1-2014, which specifies a 25-foot minimum separation distance for exterior smoking areas. \n• Propose identifying dwelling units where smoking is not allowed, and physically locate these units as far as possible from units where smoking is allowed. Wind- or temperature-induced stack effect and window operation can have a large impact on air transfer between units on different floors. If possible, locate the smoking units higher in the building where there is often more air exfiltration to the outdoors, which will also make the other compartmentalization strategies more effective (see Priority Issue 16.0).\n2. Ventilation and Air-pressure Control\n• Follow the Minimum Actions in Priority Issues 18.0 through 21.0, as applicable to the type of ventilation system.  \n• For dwelling units served by a central exhaust ventilation system, balance airflows for each unit by sealing duct/shaft leaks and installing air balancing devices (such as constant airflow regulators or orifice plates) at the exhaust points in each dwelling unit. When flows are the same from adjacent dwelling units with similar leakage characteristics, there is less potential for air and odor transfer between units. \n• If possible, increase outdoor air supply ventilation rates to non-smoking dwelling units to pressurize the units and reduce infiltration.\n3. Air Sealing\nAir sealing may be performed in smoking units, non-smoking units, or both. Some air leakage pathways are very difficult to access in existing buildings. It often takes successive rounds of air sealing to reduce migration of ETS, and it is very difficult to eliminate all leakage between dwelling units.\n• Identify potential areas of uncontrolled ETS leakage from adjacent units via visual inspection, infrared thermography, chemical smoke, and/or pressure testing. ASTM E1186-03 (2009) Standard Practices for Air Leakage Site Detection in Building Envelopes and Air Barrier Systems can be used to guide the air sealing assessment work.\n• Reduce ETS transfer between adjacent units by sealing vertical shafts, joints, and penetrations in adjoining walls, ceilings, and floors.  \n   o Find and seal the largest openings first, for example: joints around plumbing penetrations, joints around ventilation openings, lighting penetrations, openings behind baseboard heaters, electrical outlets. \n   o To track progress during sealing, a blower door depressurization test of airflow at a pressure difference of 50 Pascals can be used. Note that exhaust duct systems should be temporarily sealed off \n      during the blower door depressurization test.\n• Apply weather-stripping to all doors between dwelling units and common hallways to minimize air leakage into the hallways.

Ventilation and Air Pressure Control\n• Follow the Minimum Actions in Priority Issues 18.0 through 21.0, as applicable to the type of ventilation system.  \n• If an existing ventilation system relies on central exhaust, repair or replace any balancing devices at each exhaust point, as needed. \n• Provide dedicated pathways for make-up ventilation air in dwelling units, as required under the Minimum Actions of the sections referenced above. If necessary, provide mechanically supplied make-up air to spaces with mechanical exhaust to prevent excess negative pressure. The total net exhaust flow of the two largest exhaust appliances (including kitchen fan and clothes dryer) shall be limited to 15 cfm per 100 square feet of occupiable floor area when in operation at full capacity, or compensating outdoor air flow must be provided.\nNote:\nEffective compartmentalization can be difficult to achieve with a central exhaust ventilation system because the system experiences significant pressure fluctuations due to seasonal conditions affecting the stack effect pressures within the building.\n• If the existing ventilation system relies on make-up air provided from pressurized corridors to each dwelling unit via leaks around entry doors (e.g., door undercuts and doors that are not weather-stripped), then the compartmentalization principle can be compromised by air drawn from neighboring spaces. Prevent unwanted air transfer and cross contamination from adjacent spaces by implementing compartmentalization air sealing as described below. \n3. Air Sealing \n3a. Air Sealing – General \n• Where leakage of odors or unwanted air transfer between adjacent areas has been identified, reduce the transfer by using sealants or caulking to create a continuous air barrier. Seal all penetrations in the adjoining surfaces including joints between walls, ceilings, and floors; electrical outlets and switches; wiring, plumbing, and duct penetrations; and chase ways. \n• Seal openings between mechanical rooms and occupied spaces:\n   o Air seal ventilation ductwork. \n   o Provide tight-fitting windows and self-closing doors fitted with gaskets in the spaces that are likely to be sources of irritating or noxious odors.\n   o Seal the enclosure at receiving areas or docks. \n   o Make as airtight a connection as practical between the bottom of the trash chute and the compactor and dumpster assembly. Limit makeup air provided to trash rooms to below exhaust airflows \n      to maintain a negative pressure relative to adjacent spaces, which will reduce odor and pollutant release to upper floors during corridor trash door use. \n   o Provide all combustion air and makeup air for equipment in the mechanical room from the outdoors.\n3b. Air Sealing – Dwelling Units \n• Where leakage of odors or unwanted air transfer between adjacent dwelling units has been identified, and the dwelling unit compartmentalization can be accomplished as part of the building upgrade project, all penetrations between adjoining dwelling units and where fire walls are located must be air sealed with suitable air sealing or fire stop materials. Where possible, air sealing shall be directed to openings in interior surfaces without tightening the exterior. According to the 2012 International Building code, walls separating dwelling units in the same building, walls separating sleeping units in the same building, and walls separating dwelling or sleeping units from other occupancies contiguous to them in the same building shall be treated as fire partitions.\n• If new ventilation systems are being installed, avoid pressurizing corridors or depressurizing dwelling units more than 5 Pascals below the pressure in adjacent units. \n• If common hallways are intentionally pressurized with respect to the dwelling units, then doors in the dwelling units leading to the common hallways need not be weather-stripped, provided that dwelling units are at a negative pressure relative to the hallways of 1 Pascal or greater when the doors between the hallway dwelling unit are closed. \nNotes: Due to space constraints within the Checklist Generator, refer to the Energy Savings Plus Health Guide for additional notes applicable to MA 16.1.",null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,false]

Minimize occupant and worker exposure to VOCs, particles, and other airborne contaminants using the following procedures:\n• Restrict building occupants and workers without the personal protective equipment needed for the work being performed from construction areas. \n• Separate construction areas from occupied portions of the building using appropriate containment and ventilation practices. Ensure that work areas are properly isolated (e.g., by constructing a sealed, rigid-wall air barrier with a lockable door separating the work area from occupants or isolating smaller work areas with a plastic sheeting air barrier). Ensure that work areas are ventilated with exhaust to the outdoors to protect workers and occupants. Contaminants should be captured as close as possible to the emissions source. Work areas should be under negative pressure relative to surrounding spaces. Ensure that construction contaminants exhausted to the outdoors do not re-enter the building. Note: If negative pressurization in the work areas is not possible, consider an exhausted double wall buffer zone to separate work areas from surrounding areas.\n• Ensure fire egress requirements from occupied portions of the building are maintained when isolating work areas.\n• Do not conduct dry sanding without implementing containment measures for the dust generated. \n• Establish vehicle staging areas for loading and unloading materials and equipment at least 100 feet from outdoor air intakes, operable windows, and entryways to the building.\n• Clean the area thoroughly and frequently, and before re-entry of unprotected workers or occupants to ensure removal of any dust that may contain pollutants. Use sealed HEPA rated vacuums. \n• Follow all manufacturers’ printed instructions, which may indicate the need to evacuate building occupants and other unprotected individuals from work areas during and for some period after the use of a product.\n• Ensure sufficient ventilation and cure time to protect occupants before re-entry into the work area.\n• Create specific plans to contain particulate matter during demolition activities. \n• Limit the impact of airborne contaminants released by roofing materials during installation (e.g., hot mop asphalt, seam sealing on EPDM, polyvinyl chloride, or modified bitumen roofing).
