FAQs about IEQc4.4 :

Our project is planning to use no composite wood products. Do we automatically earn this credit?

We have a product that complies with very stringent E1 and E0 European standards for low emissions. Does this product comply with this credit?

Ann, I'm not sure—I've never seen this question addressed explicitly on this credit, although it is addressed on MRc7, where you can include temporary construction bracing and formwork if it is not counted on another project. Since this credit is more about interior emissions, I think that is less fitting, though. I'd say that if it is temporary, and particularly if it is not being used on the interior, then it should not be included.

To be clear, I would, as a default position, NOT include any temporary construction materials or formwork in consideration here. My initial response was based on the idea that you might want to do so, and I think that's not fitting, but some cases could be made.
