FAQs about IEQc4.1 :

Is there a shortcut to the VOC budget method if you have just one product that is used minimally on a project?

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

How do I determine what application my product falls under?

How is VOC % less water determined for aerosol adhesives?

Do grout and caulking need to be included, and if so, what is the application category?

Our project didn't use some common adhesive types, and our LEED reviewer asked about this. Are we supposed to justify not using certain adhesives in our documentation?

Hi, It is a general practice to use Fevicol SR 998 as duct insulation adhesive due to its bonding with the ducting material. However the VOC content of this product is 700 grams per litre. I am not sure which application is best suitable and the VOC limit which needs to be followed. I am facing this problem for all my projects. Will this fall under sheet applied rubber lining operation ?

From USGBC Interpretations: "Project teams may classify duct sealants under "Other", as listed in the SCAQMD VOC Limits table. Applicable Internationally." The maximum allowable VOC content is 420 g/l. We have found a number of very low VOC duct sealants which meet this criteria and are of high quality.
