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.

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?

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?

Would resinous flooring be evaluated under the Flooring or Paints & Coatings category? The floor in question consists of an aggregate base (inherently non-emitting) topped by an epoxy resin. Also is anyone familiar with a resinous floor product that meets the general emissions evaluation criteria?

As this product is wet-applied on site, I see it needing the general emissions evaluation (as a flooring) after application, and the additional VOC content evaluation before application (but after mixing the components to produce the ready-to-be-applied product, as specified by some of the referenced testing standards).
