NC-v4.1 EQc2:Low-Emitting Materials

Calculating contribution by surface area

Hi all!

I have some doubts about how to calculate the surface area that contributes toward this credit. 

At least 75% of all wall panels, by cost or surface area, meet the VOC emissions evaluation, the same with insulation. Ceilings and flooring 90%.

My doubt comes when I start calculating surfaces area.

Should we calculate the planar area for each exposed side of the interior material planes (insulation, ceiling, wall panels, etc)?

GBCI answered that "for all practical purposes, the areas of the two sides of the interior planes is enough for calculating the surface area for a product applied on an interior wall for EQc Low-emitting materials calculations." hope this helps to others that are attempting the credit by surface areas
