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

Hello, Does "Option 1. Combination of Carpet and Rug Institute, South Coast Air Quality Management District, and FloorScore referenced standards or equivalents" (defined in Form 4.3 v5, NC 2009) mean that we can use flooring systems that are in compliance with either CRI Green Label plus, SCAQMD Rule 113, FloorScore or CA Dept of Health standard? Thanks for your help:)

Hanne, yes, you can use a variety of products complying with a variety of standards to meet the credit requirements.
