Do products applied to the weather barrier need to comply with VOC thresholds?
How do I determine what application my product falls under?
How is VOC % less water determined for aerosol adhesives?
Do grout and caulking need to be included, and if so, what is the application category?

Rona, that is correct — only products specifically mentioned here are covered, and that does not include insulation. If you were doing a Schools project you would have the opportunity to include insulation as part of Schools IEQc4.6: Low Emitting Materials—Ceiling and Wall Systems, but that credit is not part of the LEED-CI system.

Does indoor carpet adhesives cover the adhesives and sealants used to add bevel edging on a mat at an entrance? Also adhesive we use to make a mat where we adhere the top carpet fibers (which are CRI certified) onto a sponge base to create an anti-fatigue mat. I have researched the adhesives we use and one has a VOC of less than 20 grams per liter (SCQAMD Method 316B) and the other is VOC free.
Just wondering if our mats could assist this credit under Commercial Interiors? I assume that it wouldn't apply under New Construction sincet the adhesives being used are for mats that won't be installed until AFTER construction, please clarify, thank you!

Yes, I would say that this credit would cover those adhesives.

Tristan, would Rona's question about insulation products apply for a CS project? We have pipe polyurethane insulation, but I don't think this product applies for IEQc4.1. What do you think?
