FAQs about EQc2 :

Is all solid wood considered inherently non-emitting? I’ve seen sources that say only solid wood flooring counts as inherently non-emitting.

Is there a VOC budget method for this credit?

What are the limits on the VOC budget method?

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

If one part of my multicomponent wall system is not compliant, can I still get full credit?

Our building is atypical, and the walls and ceilings are not clearly defined. How should we classify these components? 

Are throw rugs subject to the credit requirements?

If a ceramic tile receives a top coat after it is manufactured, is it exempt from the credit requirements?

What are the adhesives and sealants to be included in the documentation?

I'm looking for a certification that tells me if a given product will meet the LEED v4 requirements, but I don't see one in a given product area. Am I missing something?

When products claim that they meet California Section 01350, does the product also meet LEED v4 requirements for low-emitting materials?

How do I know if a product complies with LEED v4 or if it was tested under an older non-compliant standard?

In past versions of LEED, it was easy to specify VOC limits. Is the specification process the same for LEED v4?

See above: Requirements for: Exterior applied products for (Healthcare and School Projects only) Testing methods used: Adhesives, sealants, coatings, roofing, and waterproofing materials applied on site must meet the VOC limits of California Air Resources Board (CARB) 2007 Suggested control Measure (SCM) for Architectural Coatings, and South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Rule 1168, effective July 1, 2005.

Does anyone know if building site/civil elements have to comply?  For example, the v4 Reference Guide states "Two materials are prohibited... coal tar sealants for parking lots and other paved surfaces."  However, then in the definitely of building exterior makes no mention of civil/site items AND the "adhesives, sealants, coatsings, roofing, and waterproofinf materials" don't include "site elements" on the list.  Thinking about any concrete sealants or sidewalk expansion joint material or asphalt striping paint needing to comply for this credit category.  Any help is much appreciated!
