Hi Benj, Yes mortars can be included in the IEQ 4.3 Low Emitting Materials - Flooring Systems credit as long as you are using a mortar product that meets the low-VOC limit followed by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Rule 1168. You should look into using mortar products that meet these guidelines. A company named Merkrete sells mortar supplies that meet the LEED IEQ 4.3 Low Emitting Material - Flooring Systems guidelines. Please use the following link to research mortar products by Merkrete and see for yourself: http://www.merkrete.com/p/thin-sets-adhesives I hope this helps and good luck.
