FAQs about IEQc4.3 :

On a renovation, should flooring that is previously installed be subject to the credit requirements?

One flooring adhesive we are using falls under both IEQc4.1 and IEQc4.3, and is over the VOC limit. We are using the VOC budget method to meet IEQc4.1 requirements, but are we automatically disqualifed from IEQc4.3?

The credit requirements are allowed to exempt unfinished wood flooring from the credit requirements, but wood flooring is almost always finished. This is confusing!

I have an international project and my flooring products aren’t tested using any of the above standards. How can I tell if they still comply?

If I have no flooring products in the scope of my project, can I earn this credit?

How do I handle a polished concrete floor?

Should mineral-based finish flooring products (without any integral organic-based coatings and sealants) and unfinished/untreated solid wood flooring be documented on the IEQc4.3 LEED Online form, even though they are exempt from certification requirement

Do projects have to consider the requirements for IEQ4.3 either through the CRI green label plus or other testing method for the walk off mats required under IEQ5 Indoor Chemical Pollutant Source Control? Searching through the CRI site i haven't found a specific mention of mats other than its a good idea to have them and for them to be regularly cleaned. If they are in a grille like system the adhesive might be an issue as well thank you

Look through the IEQ c5 conversations. I'm sure this is covered there. Adhesives applied on site always count.

Hello, This topic has been covered before...though I'm having a hard time "grabbing it" quickly through the site. I have not been able to find a walk off mat that is CRI Green Label Plus. My feeling is that the mats themselves, often with just strips of carpet between metal grilles, do not need to be CRI Green Label. It all comes down to whether or not these things are being applied inside the weatherproofing membrane and on-site.
