I have a solid wood flooring vendor (Shaw) who claims that they do not have Floorscore but they do have Greenguard (usually used for furniture). Does anyone know if LEED would accept Greenguard in lieu of Floorscore for IEQ C4.4?

Just to clarify - can we mix and match? If we find one FloorScore product and another GreenGuard product, can we use both? And can we mix that with our CRI green labels for Carpet? Or do we need to do all or nothing?

Hi Jonathan,
Yes, either works. Each product can comply one way or the other. For simplicity on your end, choosing one route might be easier logistically but either works.

Be aware that there is a difference between Greenguard and Greenguard Children and Schools. Greenguard Children and Schools will be accepted but standard Greenguard will not.
