Moisture Control.

(Additional; Installation-wide)

Is there a policy/specifications requiring moisture control strategy for moisture flows and condensation to prevent building damage, minimize mold contamination, and reduce health risks related to moisture?

Establish and implement a moisture control strategy for controlling moisture flows and condensation to prevent building damage, minimize mold contamination, and reduce health risks related to moisture.

Reduce Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) (Low-Emitting Materials).

(Additional; Installation-wide)

Is there a policy/specifications requiring low emitting materials (low Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)) for building repairs/modifications?
Is there a policy/specifications requiring the use of low emitting materials (low Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)) for cleaning?

Use reduced volatile organic compounds (VOC) (low emitting materials) for building modifications, maintenance, and cleaning. In particular, specify the following materials and products to have low or no pollutant emissions: composite wood products, adhesives, sealants, interior paints and finishes, solvents, carpet systems, janitorial supplies, and furnishings.

Integrated Pest Management.

(Additional; Installation-wide)

Is there an Integrated Pest Management Plan (IPMP) in place?

Use integrated pest management techniques as appropriate to minimize pesticide usage. When pesticides are needed, only use EPA-registered pesticides.

Environmental Tobacco Smoke Control.

(Additional; Installation-wide)

Do all smoking structures comply with Component policy to be 50 feet from openings?

Prohibit smoking within the building and within a minimum of 50 feet (15.24 meters) of all building entrances, operable windows, and building ventilation intakes. Verify if more stringent facility criteria or Installation policy applies.
