FAQs about IEQc4.4 :

Our project is planning to use no composite wood products. Do we automatically earn this credit?

We have a product that complies with very stringent E1 and E0 European standards for low emissions. Does this product comply with this credit?

NC-2009 IEQc4.4:Low-Emitting Materials—Composite Wood and Agrifiber Products

Wood and plastic composite

Is it correct to state that wood and plastic composites are not included in this credit requirements? Quoted from above: "Composite wood and agrifiber products are defined as particleboard, medium density fiberboard (MDF), plywood, wheatboard, strawboard, panel substrates and door cores." Thanks in advance,

Noriko, I would not see plastic composites falling under this criteria, but many wood composite materials - as you quoted - are listed in the credit. So those used on the inside of the building, must not contain added Urea Formaldehyde resins.
