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?

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

Stone Counter adhesive

We are running into an issue with the stone counter top adhesive. The typical product that our sub uses is "Superior Gold Knife Grade" and it does not meet the limits. Any suggestions of products to use or how to get around this to still get the IEQc4.1?

#1 - request your sub asks his suppliers for other options, SCAQMD has been around long enough that there is almost always a quality product that will meet the limits. #2 - see VOC budget above. Good Luck!

Would you use the same limit as ceramic tile for the solid surface counter top (65g/L)?

Good question! I would start with what is the adhesive you are using; my guess is that it would more likely fall into the "Multipurpose Construction Adhesives - 70 g/l max.
