This may seem like a simple question, but do recessed foot grilles or walk-off matts count as a flooring system?

Hi Grace,
I believe for the purposes of this LEED credit, recessed foot grilles and walk-off mats not count as flooring systems. Looking through the credit requirements and definitions, it is clearly stated that this credit pertains to components of flooring systems that emit VOCs (i.e carpets, vinyl, etc). Hope this helps!

Walk off mats, however, are made with carpeted material and would seem to be included perhaps? Has anyone had any experience with a project getting GBCI comments about this?
