Gary, I see a couple of issues. The first is that this credit applies composite wood that is part of the building and your GC has submitted something for a visual display product - which I would not put in this credit category. The second issue is that the School EQ c4.4 focuses on VOC emission not VOC content like the other versions of LEED. Finally, the GREENGUARD certification that would comply with the criteria of this credit is the Children & Schools, not the regular GREENGUARD. I hope this clears some things up for you.
