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?

Hello, Has anyone encountered a product that is new on the market and therefore is still in the process of becoming FloorScore Certified? Other products from the company are FloorScore Certified, but we have no documentation for this particular product as of yet. Is there any way this product can still count or not?

Can you ask the manufacturer for proof that the product is going through fourscore certification process and request estimated time for certification?

We asked if they had some other way to verify that their product met the requirements and they said they did not...however, I think it would be worthwhile to ask them for proof that it is currently undergoing the floor score certification process. Thanks for the suggestion. We'll try that.

Hi Stefanie, You can always pursue Option 2 as well where you engage in testing. Unfortunately, I don't think that the USGBC will accept documentation that suggests that the product is going through the process of FloorScore certification. Lauren
