Hi Jeremy, You're correct in that your re-used wood floor would automatically comply so long as you had a finish that met the SCAQMD requirements. It is not my understanding that this floor would ever need to be FloorScore. FloorScore is only offered for newly purchased products. You cannot get an existing wood to become FloorScore tested. I suppose you could try to get the reused flooring tested to meet the requirements of Option 2 but I really don't think that's necessary. Just like the approach taken for EQc4.5 where furniture that is over a year old is excused from needing to meet the greenguar certification requirements, I'd assume the same would be true for reused wood flooring with a low-emitting sealer. Hope that helps. Lauren

Dear Lauren, If existing Wood floor with no finishing or coating automatically comply with the credit, do I need to include them in the LEED On-line form, or is it exempt? If included, the LEED on-line form request Source of compliant statement, I´m a bit confused with it!
