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

is it product or category?!

To achieve the low emittig material credit, it says that category of paintings needs to agree with 90% emission and 100% VOC,, does this mean that each product under category of painting needs to achieve these percentages or we consider it as total ( one category )? for example if we have moisture resistant paint and epoxy paint.. 

thanks in advance,

Hi Sara, The category as a whole is considered for the 90%, based on volume used of the paint products that have emissions testing vs those that do not. It helps to play around with the calculator a bit if you want to familiarize (perhaps use an old project for reference and use dummy volumes). Then you look at the summary tab and see where you're meeting. It updates as you go! Alara
