FAQs about IEQc4.1 :

Is there a shortcut to the VOC budget method if you have just one product that is used minimally on a project?

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?

Our project didn't use some common adhesive types, and our LEED reviewer asked about this. Are we supposed to justify not using certain adhesives in our documentation?

CS-2009 IEQc4.1:Low-Emitting Materials—Adhesives and Sealants

Spray Foam Insulation

I recently completed a building that is to be certified under the LEED Core & Shell program. The building was literally a 'shell' - no interior finishes to speak of. We did spray foam insulation on the inside of the exposed stud cavity. The insulation was a low-VOC product. My questions is under what category (sealants, adhesives, etc.) should I categorize this material in my LEED credit template?

Michael, I don't think spray foam is intended to be categorized in this credit at all. If you wanted to go for Schools IEQc4.6 as an innovation approach under IDc1, it could be categorized under ceiling and wall systems.
