FAQs about IEQc4.3 :

If I have no flooring products in the scope of my project, can I earn this credit?

How do I handle a polished concrete floor?

Should mineral-based finish flooring products (without any integral organic-based coatings and sealants) and unfinished/untreated solid wood flooring be documented on the IEQc4.3 LEED Online form, even though they are exempt from certification requirement

On a renovation, should flooring that is previously installed be subject to the credit requirements?

One flooring adhesive we are using falls under both IEQc4.1 and IEQc4.3, and is over the VOC limit. We are using the VOC budget method to meet IEQc4.1 requirements, but are we automatically disqualifed from IEQc4.3?

The credit requirements are allowed to exempt unfinished wood flooring from the credit requirements, but wood flooring is almost always finished. This is confusing!

I have an international project and my flooring products aren’t tested using any of the above standards. How can I tell if they still comply?

Under Option 1 Table IEQc4.3-1 in the online form list "FloorScore" as the reference standard for "Sealer: Waterproofing, Concrete/Masonry", while it list "SCAQMD Rule 113" as the reference standard for "Sealer: Waterproofing". The LEED Reference Guide for Green Building Design and Construction states "Concrete, wood, bamboo and cork flooring finishes such as sealer, stain and finish mush met the requirements of South Cost Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Rule 113, Architectural Coatings, rules in effect on January 1, 2004. Should the reference standard for "Sealer: Waterproofing, Concrete/Masonry" be "SCAQMD Rule 113" as opposed to "FloorScore?

Allen, I'm seeing Rule 1113 show up, as it should. Perhaps you have an earlier version of the LEED Online form (the latest is v03). If so, you can request GBCI to update it.

Tristan, thank you for the reply. The v03 online form has it as Rule 1113, but v04 and v05 of the online forms have it at floorscore. I am trying to determine if this is an error or a revision to the credit requirements. Thanks again for your time.
