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?

CS-2009 IEQc4.3:Low-Emitting Materials—Flooring Systems

Existing building

When reusing an existing building (major renovation) then only new flooring materials would be applicable for the credit? Consequently, the credit does not apply to the flooring areas (materials) which are kept in place. Is that correct? Thank you in advance.

Yes, correct - as long as your do not repair and/or refinish; then any materials used, such as stain or polyurethane would be required to meet the standards.

Thanks John-David! That said, we disregard all existing flooring materials and we only focus on the flooring materials which are renovated.
