FAQs about EQc2 :

Is all solid wood considered inherently non-emitting? I’ve seen sources that say only solid wood flooring counts as inherently non-emitting.

I'm looking for a certification that tells me if a given product will meet the LEED v4 requirements, but I don't see one in a given product area. Am I missing something?

When products claim that they meet California Section 01350, does the product also meet LEED v4 requirements for low-emitting materials?

How do I know if a product complies with LEED v4 or if it was tested under an older non-compliant standard?

In past versions of LEED, it was easy to specify VOC limits. Is the specification process the same for LEED v4?

Is there a VOC budget method for this credit?

What are the limits on the VOC budget method?

Do products applied to the weather barrier need to comply with VOC thresholds? 

If one part of my multicomponent wall system is not compliant, can I still get full credit?

Our building is atypical, and the walls and ceilings are not clearly defined. How should we classify these components? 

Are throw rugs subject to the credit requirements?

If a ceramic tile receives a top coat after it is manufactured, is it exempt from the credit requirements?

What are the adhesives and sealants to be included in the documentation?

NC-v4 EQc2:Low emitting materials

Pipe Thread Sealant with General Emissions Evaluation

Has anyone found a pipe thread sealant manufacturer that has acquired a GEE for their product?

I've gone through six so far and not found a single one who is even interested in pursuing it.

Hi Spott or anyone who sees this,  Have you been able to find a GEE compliant thread sealant? I have looked at several materials but cannot find any, and our consultant is refusing any material not GEE compliant because they are trying to achieve 100% compliance.

It appears from the info on this link that Oatey has GEE and VOC compliant thread sealant: https://www.oatey.com/ASSETS/DOCUMENTS/ITEMS/EN/Thread%20Sealant%20Substrates.pdf Our M/P Sub used all Oatey products on our LEED NCv2009 project recently. Contact Oatey to obtain GEE and VOC info on their thread sealants and if you can, please keep us posted on your results. Thanks! Debra

Oatey did finally in August release a number of products (16 I think) that are compliant. Here's a quick post about it - https://getgreenbadger.com/2019/11/04/pvc-cpvc-cement/ If you are using Green Badger, they are in that database. If not, you'll have to go to UL Spot and get the certificate you need.
