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?

Do the General Emissions criteria for Paints and Coatings apply to intumescent flame retardants for structural elements? We've had difficulty finding products that meet (or report) compliance. Thanks in advance.

My interpretation is that there is no exemptions to the interior applied products VOC requirements. A question regarding anti-corrosion paint was brought up earlier and the answer was no, it must also comply. Intumescent paint would be in the same category as anti-corrosion paint with regards to structural members and therefore I would draw the conclusion that it also must comply.

Michael, Were you able to find a product which met the requirements? I am now looking for the same and am not finding a product with CDPH testing. I'd like to hear what you were able to use. Thanks.

Did you ever hear back from Michael regarding your question? I'm in the same boat now....
