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.

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?

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?

Does anyone know what the max allowable VOC limit is for a dissipation concrete curing compound?  The product data submittal states VOC content is 301 g/L.  I read that the USGBC requirement is 350 g/L while in another web search I read the LEED v4 requirement is 50 g/L.

The usgbc provided Low-Emitting Materials calculator lists the allowable limits. This is downloadable at: https://www.usgbc.org/resources/leed-v41-low-emitting-materials-calculator I believe concrete curing compound has a limit of 100 g/l. If used for roadways or bridges the limit is 350 g/l.  Not sure where 50 g/l came from.  Hope this helps!
