FAQs about IEQc4.3 :

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

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?

It has been a long time since we worked on a NC-2009 project. Long been into Version 4/4.1 projects.

The form for this credit has changed.  Only FloorScore shows up in the dropdown box as a Referenced Standard.  Where do we put Greenguard, CRI Green Label Plus, etc.?

I just peeked at one of my more recent v3 projects to see what the form has. It's definitely the updated version by the looks (though I will note that it doesn't depend on when the project was registered, it depends on when the credit was attempted). The weird thing is that my drop downs say the following options (man, it'd be easier if I could post a screenshot):
  • CRI Green Label Plus
  • CDPH Standard v1.1-2010
  • CDPH Standard v1.1-2010 and AgBB/DIBt
  • CDPH Standard v1.1-2010 and GUT
  • CDPH Standard v1.1-2010 and EMICODE
  • CDPH Standard v1.1-2010 and Blue Angel
  • CA Section 01350 testing and product requirements
Soooo...why would a v2009 project be held to a 2010 standard? This isn't an answer to your question, but rather a new one. Sorry. For now, though, are you able to go to this credit's page in the Credit Library and download one of the older versions of the template that has the options that match the credit requirements as we know them? I have heard of projects doing this in some cases, though it's been so long, I can't remember the exact circumstances. Otherwise, we may both have to contact LEED Coach for clarity.

I think the reason for the 2010 version of the CDPH is that the CDPH method was added as an option after the initial publication of LEEDv2009, so it was the current version at the time. Looking at one of my 2009 projects, the v06 of the form seems to have all the options
