30.2 Compliance
The following documents should be submitted.
30.2.1 Company policy for the ban on smoking within the building premises, if applicable,
with the supportive documents verified and signed by a responsible authority.
30.2.2 The building plan or interior layout signed by the architect, demonstrating the internal
planning for the smoke control by locating the designated smoking zone on the
building periphery separated from the non -smoking areas by full height impermeable
internal partitions.
30.2.3 For a conditioned space, clearly demonstrate with the help of the AC system design
documents, signed by the HVAC consultant or the site engineer, that
• designated smoking area is independent of the non-smoking areas in the building.
• smoking zone is exhausted directly to the outdoors such that there is no
recirculation of the tobacco smoke air to the non -smoking zone of the building
Smoking zone is operated on separate ventilation systems, with higher ventilation
rates than the non-smoking areas, and is designed for at least 60 cfm (cubic feet
per minute)/person.
• smoking zone operates at a negative pressure in comparison to the surrounding
non-smoking zone.
30.2.4 For a non-conditioned space, clearly demonstrate in the internal floor plans/ interior
layout that the designated smoking zone is properly ventilated with the appropriate
location of the air inlets/outlets.
30.2.5 For a non-conditioned space, clearly demonstrate with the help of a design narrative
designated smoking zone, if mechanically ventilated is designed for not less than
30 ACH (air changes per hour).
• Smoking zone is properly ventilated and, at a minimum, exhausted directly to the
outdoors, such that there is no recirculation of the tobacco smoke air to the non-
smoking zone of the building.
• Properly enclosed with full height, impermeable internal partitions with respect to
the surrounding spaces.
30.3 Appraisal (1 point mandatory)
The following documents are to be submitted.
30.3.1 Company policy for ban/prohibition of smoking within the building premises, as per
clause 30.2.1. or

are met, as per clauses 30.2.2– 30.2.5 (1 point mandatory)
Methodology
Following is the methodology for doing analysis for GRIHA Criterion 30.
If smoking is banned/prohibited within the building premises
