FAQs about IEQc4.1 :

How is VOC % less water determined for aerosol adhesives?

Do grout and caulking need to be included, and if so, what is the application category?

Our project didn't use some common adhesive types, and our LEED reviewer asked about this. Are we supposed to justify not using certain adhesives in our documentation?

Is there a shortcut to the VOC budget method if you have just one product that is used minimally on a project?

Do products applied to the weather barrier need to comply with VOC thresholds?

How do I determine what application my product falls under?

CS-2009 IEQc4.1:Low-Emitting Materials—Adhesives and Sealants

ACP for Europe regarding VOC limits and EMICODE classes?

EBOM Alternative Compliance Path for Europe (2009) introduced the use of European methods (AgBB/DIBt GUT, EMICODE, Blue Angel) to verify the maximum VOC concentration in credit MR 3. Do you know if the same methods can be used in a CS project version 3, credit IEQ 4.1 (and following)? If so, EMICODE EC1 would fulfill LEED requirements? Or is there any sort of equivalence between VOC values calculated by EMICODE method and the values by SCAQMD method?

Daniela, this ACP has not been introduced for the CS or NC rating systems. I don't know exactly why. I would contact GBCI if you would like to get some indication on whether you can apply it.
