FAQs about IEQc4.3 :

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?

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

Hi all Does anyone know if Green guide is applicable to credit IEQc4.3 at all. I am working with a project based in the UK which is going for a BREEAM certification and now looking into LEED as well. This project will use Green Guide for material selection. The question is if this is helpful at all to a possible LEED certification and VOC content when it comes to flooring? Is anypne familiar with Green Guide and knows how VOC is treated within that system? Thankful for some input! Helena

Helena, I'm not familiar with Green Guide. Unless it uses testing methods or certifications referenced in the credit language above, I don't think it's applicable here.
