Dear all
I'd need your comment about "Low Emitting Material credit, General Emission Evaluation".
Regarding the recognized schemes accepted for projects outside the United States, the table shows:
- M1: Yes, M1
- Eco-institute-label: Yes **, (if additional low formaldehyde requirement is also met)
My interpretation is as follows:
- M1 certificate is enough to declare compliance with the General Emission Evaluation requirement
- Eco-institut-label is not enough to declare the compliance with the General Emission Evaluation requirement, since it is also required that the formaldehyde concentration in µg / mc is less than 10 µg / mc.
Is my interpretation correct?
I look forward to your reply.
Thanks
Br, Antonio Saccardi

Hi, yes your interpretation is right. But the Eco-institut-label can do as well under the condition that the supplier provides you a test report showing respect of the low formaldehyde requirement (max 10 µg/m³ after 28 days).

Hi Raymond,
Based on following forum (https://leeduser.buildinggreen.com/forum/leed-v41-third-party-certifications), the LEED 3rd party certification can be used for LEED v4.1. However, so far can be accepted in LEED v4.1 BETA period.
Hopefully this answer can help you. Regards.
