CI-v4 EQc2:Low emitting materials

Low emissions point criteria

Hello -

I'm working on a TI project and filling out the documentation submittals online for my first time. On the form itself, it shows that if we meet VOC requirements in 4 categories we get 3 points. On the threshhold tab, it shows that we would only get 1 point by virtue of categories. We didn't do a full cost calculation of all materials. Which is accurate? The form or the threshhold?

Marie, it seems to me that the form must be incorrect. Table 2 in the credit language shows one point for three categories for interior projects. The credit language was what USGBC balloted and members approved, so I would always use that as the authoritative source with questions like this.
