PIEACP compliance path

If we are using the PIEACP compliance path for this credit, the NC 2.2 Credit 4.3 refers only to carpet systems. Does this mean that other flooring systems, such as terrazzo for example, would be excluded from the analysis? I assume we would put any floor sealants or coatings under our alternate compliance path for credit 4.1 but the terrazzo itself would not be included in the VOC analysis. Wood floor systems would be similarly assessed. Is this correct?

Hi Peter, Just so I'm clear: is your project registered under LEED-NC v2.2 or LEED 2009? If the project is registered under LEED-NC v2.2 than you would only need to consider carpet. If the credit is registered under LEED-NC v3, than all flooring systems would need to be considered. I think that that this memo summarizes it fairly well: http://www.usgbc.org/ShowFile.aspx?DocumentID=4311 Hope that helps! Good luck, Lauren
