Inquiry

Under IEQ Credit 5, Indoor Chemical and Pollutant Source Control, the question has been raised by the electrical engineer as to whether eliminating the lead/acid batteries from the Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) room would give us a credit point. We are required to have the UPS room due to the essential facilities nature of the project, a 911 emergency center. The UPS room is located adjacent to the main 911 operations area, where employees spend most of their shift. If not possible under IEQ 5, is there an opportunity for a credit point in some other area?
