Are toilet partitions subject to low-emitting requirements?

NC-v4 EQc2: Low-emitting materials
posted by Nash Emrich on Jun 29, 2018, 4:04 pm

Do they count as a "wall?" The product will be mostly assembled off-site, but that doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't emit. Seems like a grey area though. Has anyone received feedback from LEED...

Credit was straightforward. In our market, there is only one CORR-certified provider. Curious if that's the case in other markets.

"with errata but without addenda"

NC-v4 EAp2: Minimum Energy Performance
posted by Alfonzo Collins on Nov 7, 2018, 10:58 am

The LEED v3 reference book already refers to ASHRAE 90.1 "with errata but without addenda."  The v4 book only says "with errata."  Does that imply that all addenda to ASHRAE 90.1 must be followed...
