In attempt to clarify the wording for IEQ4.1 and IEQ4.2 that states "...defined as inside the weatherproofing system and applied on-site..." does this mean that both conditions must be satisfied for this credit to apply. For example, if cabinets are manufactured/constructed off-site and then installed inside the building, do the stains and adhesives used on those cabinets have to comply with the requirements set forth by IEQ4.1 and IEQ4.2? This example and similar instances have been a point of contention for my current project and I would like to bring closure to this issue.

Only the adhesives, sealants, paints and coating that are inside the weather barrier AND applied on-site have to comply. Thus you don't have to track the stains, paints, and adhesives used to assemble and finish items that are produced off site. As much as that would address many more instances of poor air quality, especially for workers who are part of the manufacturing process, it would also be administrative nightmare!
