FAQs about IEQc4.3 :

If I have no flooring products in the scope of my project, can I earn this credit?

How do I handle a polished concrete floor?

Should mineral-based finish flooring products (without any integral organic-based coatings and sealants) and unfinished/untreated solid wood flooring be documented on the IEQc4.3 LEED Online form, even though they are exempt from certification requirement

On a renovation, should flooring that is previously installed be subject to the credit requirements?

One flooring adhesive we are using falls under both IEQc4.1 and IEQc4.3, and is over the VOC limit. We are using the VOC budget method to meet IEQc4.1 requirements, but are we automatically disqualifed from IEQc4.3?

The credit requirements are allowed to exempt unfinished wood flooring from the credit requirements, but wood flooring is almost always finished. This is confusing!

I have an international project and my flooring products aren’t tested using any of the above standards. How can I tell if they still comply?

Stair nosing

Hi Everyone, We have stainless steel stair nosing with anti-slip PVC strips on our stairs. I do not find any descriptions mentioning stair nosing, but have a feeling that it would need to be FloorScore certified. Does anyone have any ideas? Any comments are appreciated!

Depending on your application, this could be a grey area. My inclination would be to include them here. Remember that you can use Option 2.

I agree that applications like this can be a grey area. In principle, it is a good idea to consider all flooring products that could off-gas in your space.

I have received a response to my inquiry from GBCI. "Those strips are not listed in the credit requirements and I don't find any addenda that mention them, so, no, they do not need to be considered."
