Where must a building's no-smoking signage be posted?

CWithin 25 ft. (8 m) of all building entrances

DWithin 25 ft. (8 m) of the main building entrance(s)

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.

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

Yeah, having the signage only at the main entrances makes sense.

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.
