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?

Using LEED NC 2009, do we need to include furniture items, such as workstations, task chairs and their related components as required for IEQ.45 in LEED CI requirements? For credits IEQ4.1 , 4.3 and 4.4? I can't find this information.

Hi Severine, Only if those adhesives are applied on-site and inside the weather proofing membrane. If the manufacturer is applying the adhesive or sealant off site than it would be excluded from EQc4.1 and EQc4.2. That being said, it is still good to look for furniture products that have adhesives and sealants that are low-voc or no-voc. Greenguard certified products are one place to start. http://www.greenguard.org/en/SearchResults.aspx?CategoryID=21
