Retail-CI-v2009 IEQc4.6:Low-emitting materials - ceiling and wall systems

VOC limits?

I am new to IDC Retail... hopefully others have some experiece? i have the IDC Retail Supplement, and it really does not say anything at all other than the language provided above. The "Resources" section (pg 125) refers the user to "USGBC's LEED Resources & Tools (www.usgbc.org/projecttools) for additional resources and technical information." This link is now defunct, so useless. I have looked over the referenced standard (CA Dept of Health Svcs Std Practice.....), but this standard does not seem to provide VOC limits for products, just limits in air, and standard methods for product testing. So here's my question -- Is this credit requiring that gyp, insulation, acoustic ceiling systems, and wall coverings meet a certain VOC limit?? If so, where can I find those limits?? Thanks!

Erica - If products have difficulty finding information confirming the Small Chambers Testing emissions, you should review the International Standards within LEED v4.

Do Greenguard certified products meet the requirements?

Erica, yes, Greenguard Gold does.
