FAQs about EQc2 :

Is all solid wood considered inherently non-emitting? I’ve seen sources that say only solid wood flooring counts as inherently non-emitting.

I'm looking for a certification that tells me if a given product will meet the LEED v4 requirements, but I don't see one in a given product area. Am I missing something?

When products claim that they meet California Section 01350, does the product also meet LEED v4 requirements for low-emitting materials?

How do I know if a product complies with LEED v4 or if it was tested under an older non-compliant standard?

In past versions of LEED, it was easy to specify VOC limits. Is the specification process the same for LEED v4?

Is there a VOC budget method for this credit?

What are the limits on the VOC budget method?

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

If one part of my multicomponent wall system is not compliant, can I still get full credit?

Our building is atypical, and the walls and ceilings are not clearly defined. How should we classify these components? 

Are throw rugs subject to the credit requirements?

If a ceramic tile receives a top coat after it is manufactured, is it exempt from the credit requirements?

What are the adhesives and sealants to be included in the documentation?

NC-v4 EQc2:Low emitting materials

If all products in one category comply with the VOC emissions evaluation do we need to list the cost or surface area?

We are having a tough time getting the costs from our subs. The subs says that the cost is bundled with other material and they can't break it up. Some are having to go there superiors to get it and even then it is difficult. So if all products in one category comply with the VOC emissions evaluation do we need to list the cost or surface area?

Hi Summer, In my experience, you don't have to provide cost or SF information if all your products comply with emissions requirements. However, you need to put a "1" in the column you choose in the calculator or it won't show compliance. The standard response from USGBC reviewers is that they prefer to have that information in case something you present as documentation doesn't pass muster for them. Without threshold information, they won't be able to determine compliance if that happens. As always put an explanation in the Special Circumstances.
