We are uploading to LEED Online using a Beta form "v.0.2.3" in the IEQ 4.3 Form. IEQ 4.3 requires us to list the adhesives (from IEQ 4.1) used for the flooring. The drop down menu in the adhesives section for the IEQ 4.3 Form does not include a category for "Multi-Purpose Construction Adhesives", for "Cove Base Adhesives" or for "Plastic Cement Welding." All of those categories exist under the IEQ 4.1 Form, but oddly they don't appear in the adhesives drop-down menu in the IEQ 4.3 Form even though other adhesive categories do appear in the IEQ 4.3 Form. What should we do? "Indoor Carpet Adhesive" and "Carpet Tile Adhesive" are the only adhesive categories listed in the drop down menu in the IEQ 4.3 Form. Should we put it all under "Primer/Sealer/Undercoater"? We're not the project administrator so we cannot upgrade out of the Beta form- and we have a time crunch.

Mineral based finish flooring products such as tile, masonry, terrazzo, and cut stone without integral organic-based coatings and sealants and unfinished/untreated solid wood flooring qualify for credit without any IAQ testing requirements. However, associated site-applied adhesives, grouts, finishes and sealers must be compliant for a mineral-based or unfinished/untreated solid wood flooring system to qualify for credit.
