Ms Vesta Consulting LEEDuser Basic Member 5 thumbs up March 3, 2017- 5:27 am Thanks Dave! We have about 45 AHUs, each serving dozens of different zones, more than 330,000 sf area in total, so a lot of rooms and lots of guessing.. But I see what you are saying.

several products we got from different subs/ suppliers submitted us product cut sheets that indicate that plywood based product is "exempt from testing by CARB " and the sub or supplier also provided a general document from APA indicating a table of products that are exempt from meeting CARB such as APA rated plywood. Do I ONLY need to submit the APA document together with the statement from product mfgr saying their product is "exempt from testing by CARB "?
