If our project has no composite wood or agrifiber products can we claim IEQ C4.4 since we have ensured good indoor quality with the choice of alternative products? Thanks.

Francis, this is debatable, and I don't think you could get a definite answer without submitting the credit for review, or submitting a CIR, but I don't think you could earn the credit. While arguably avoiding these products would contribute to the intent behind the credit, it doesn't fit with how the credit language is set up, or the documentation requirements. Just think—if USGBC wanted to use a credit to encourage us to avoid a certain material to improve IAQ, it probably wouldn't start with composite wood.
