FAQs about IEQc4.1 :

Is there a shortcut to the VOC budget method if you have just one product that is used minimally on a project?

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

How do I determine what application my product falls under?

How is VOC % less water determined for aerosol adhesives?

Do grout and caulking need to be included, and if so, what is the application category?

Our project didn't use some common adhesive types, and our LEED reviewer asked about this. Are we supposed to justify not using certain adhesives in our documentation?

NC-2009 IEQc4.1:Low-Emitting Materials—Adhesives and Sealants

Sealants on Stone Art wall

We have a project where a large portion of the stone wall in the lobby will serve as an art installation (stone will be etched & then sealed). I was wondering if the sealant used (if applied on-site) would need to be compliant. Technically, it is a medium for the artist & not a building construction material--I am thinking of it along the same lines as oil paint (for example). Any thoughts? I saw the post above, but I was wondering if anyone had a specific reference for this issue.

Hi Jennifer, If it's a sealant used inside the waterproofing membrane on an element of the building that is permanent as a stone wall would be then that sealant would need to be compliant with the credit's requirements. If it was more of a paint then it would fall under EQc4.2.
