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.

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?

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?

NC-v4 EQc2:Low emitting materials

Spray foam fireproofing = "fire-proofing coatings" per SCAQMD Rule 1113?

Does anyone know for sure how spray foam fireproofing (for structural steel members) is categorized for VOC content?  My educated guess was fire-proofing coatings, but wasn't positive.  I just realized I have never submitted this material in v2009 products but was never questioned about it. Thanks!

In the same boat.  Found that SCAQMD rule 1113 (2016) lists Fire-Proofing Coatings.  VOC limit is 150 g//L.

We look for ACQMD rule 1113 on fire retardant paint that we produced CAN we have the steps we are to pass to obtain the approbation. Actually our product is lower than 40 gr/liter in VOC
