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?

SMACNA (SHEET METAL AND AIR CONDITIONING CONTRACTORS' NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, INC.) released the following (see link below) Technical Resources Bulletin stating that: "In response to the following Credit Interpretation Request (CIR): “How does a project team classify duct sealants for application under EQc4.1?” the USGBC issued the following ruling: “Project teams may classify duct sealants under “Other”, as listed in the SCAQMD VOC Limits table.” The category of “Other” in the SCAQMD VOC Limits table has a maximum limit of 420 g/l. This should allow most if not all duct sealants to be utilized on LEED®" http://www.smacna.org/technical/download.cfm?download_file=TRB9-09-Update-LEEDDuctSealant-Jul09.pdf
