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

What to include?

Hi I'm confused about which floors and carpets should be included for this credit. The developer of the project is renting out all spaces to tenants (hotel and offices). This rating system is not suppose to include tenant outfits right? So how do I decide when all spaces are for tenants? For the office spaces I can imagine that I should include the flooring, since they are the same for all offices (exept for some where the floors is left undone). But for the hotel part I'm not sure. Does anybody have any suggestions? Many thanks

Mathilda, on this kind of question I always check C&S Appendix 4 in the LEED Reference Guide.For IEQc4, it indicates that you need not include tenant space in your CS submission, but that you may do so for EP.

Hi Mathilda, I agree with Tristan. I would just include the floors and carpets that are included within the developer's scope of work. As Tristan noted, there is an opportunity for Exemplary Performance if you require the tenants to comply with the EQc4 suite of credits through a binding lease agreement. Good luck. Lauren

How about the back of house area, such as plant room area, and some not normally occupied sapce? Are those space need to be control?
