FAQs about IEQc4.3 :

On a renovation, should flooring that is previously installed be subject to the credit requirements?

One flooring adhesive we are using falls under both IEQc4.1 and IEQc4.3, and is over the VOC limit. We are using the VOC budget method to meet IEQc4.1 requirements, but are we automatically disqualifed from IEQc4.3?

The credit requirements are allowed to exempt unfinished wood flooring from the credit requirements, but wood flooring is almost always finished. This is confusing!

I have an international project and my flooring products aren’t tested using any of the above standards. How can I tell if they still comply?

If I have no flooring products in the scope of my project, can I earn this credit?

How do I handle a polished concrete floor?

Should mineral-based finish flooring products (without any integral organic-based coatings and sealants) and unfinished/untreated solid wood flooring be documented on the IEQc4.3 LEED Online form, even though they are exempt from certification requirement

What about Greenguard instead of Floorscore

We have a project pursuing LEED CI and the project team is considering to install laminate flooring which is Greenguard certified but not Floorscore. If Greenguard certification is addressed in other credits can it be possible we can present it instead of Floorscore?. Thanks in advance,

The product would need to be GREENGUARD Children & Schools/UL GREENGUARD Gold certified to qualify. This certification shows compliance to CA 01350 and USGBC has accepted for all low-emitting criteria for years.

Thanks so much, seems we must need to look for another product as it is just Greenguard certified.
