NC-2009 IEQc4.3:Low-Emitting Materials—Flooring Systems

Where can I find the April 2010 addenda?

The link (on LEED user takes me to a LEED overview page and when I search "addenda" for IEQ 4.3 nothing comes up. I need the specific wording for "tile without organic coatings not requiring further testing" to respond to a pre-construction review comment. Thank you!

The text from the 4/14/2010 Addenda states, "Mineral-based finish flooring products such as tile, masonry, terrazzo, and cut stone without integral organic-based coatings and sealants and unfinished/untreated solid wood flooring qualify for credit without any IAQ testing requirements. However, associated site-applied adhesives, grouts, finishes and sealers must be compliant for a mineral-based or unfinished/untreated solid wood flooring system to qualify for credit." The Addenda text can be found through the resources portion of the new USGBC website. Go to the New Construction Rating System section and at the bottom right it says, "View All Resources." Click on this and then Filter by Addenda. Sort by A-Z and the first file (Building design & construction reference guide addenda - 1st edition) is the one you are looking for. If you download the Addenda for the 1st Edition is compiles all previous Addenda. Found here: http://new.usgbc.org/resources/building-design-amp-construction-reference-guide-addenda-1st-edition Additionally, I found this page on LEEDuser which talks about it: http://www.leeduser.com/topic/usgbc-releases-april-2010-leed-addenda-%E2%80%93-changes-rating-systems-reference-guides. I searched on LEEDuser for April 2010 Addenda. Hope this helps!
