GRIHA-speciic information
Objective
to put in place health strategies such as prohibiting smoking in the indoor areas/building or
providing designated/isolated smoking zones within the building designed with separate
ventilation systems with higher ventilation rates than the non-smoking areas. this will ensure
zero exposure of the non-smoking occupants to passive smoking.
30.1 Commitment
30.1.1 in both air-conditioned as well as non-air-conditioned buildings, ensure zero exposure
of non-smokers to the tobacco smoke. Prohibit smoking on the building premises
supported with the company policy.
30.1.2 ensure that both air-conditioned and non-air-conditioned buildings provide a designated
smoking zone with a controlled environment that ensures restriction of the smoke to
the designated area, preferably in the peripheral spaces of the buildings or within the
buildings (for multiple-occupancy buildings such as hotels, non-smoking, and smoking
rooms to be clearly identified).
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.
