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.

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?

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?

NC-v4 EQc2:Low emitting materials

Unrenovated Spaces in Major Renovation Project

Hi, 
Where can I find more information on how to procede with Low emitting materials in case that the projects keeps big part of the spaces inside unrenovated? I am  assuming, there is no need to dig in history for the VOC documentation on used products, but I need the concrete rules concerning this.

Assuming the unrenovated portions of the project are within your LEED boundary and are over one year old, then they should qualify as salvaged or reused. v4 only mentions salvaged or reused products under composite wood and furniture, but you may want to consider the v4.1 version.  Under the v4.1 version of this credit, you can claim salvaged or reused products for flooring, wall panels, ceilings, furniture and composite wood.  Any liquid applied products that were installed over a year ago, I would think just would be excluded.  Search the reference guide for "salvaged" within this credit for more info.
