Has anyone found a physicians stool and chair that meets the requirements of Option 2? I've search GREENGUARD for GOLD certified furniture and found options as they meet or exceed California’s Special Environmental Requirements, Specifications Section 01350, updated with California Department of Public Health Standard Method for the Testing and Evaluation of Volatile Organic Chemical Emissions from Indoor Sources Using Environmental Chambers version 1.1 (CDPH/EHLB Standard Method v1.1) However, I am having difficulty finding products that have documentation to support they the product contains less 100ppm of at least 2 of the 5 chemical categories listed in the credit requirements. Thanks. -Cate

Have you checked BFMA? Honestly Cate, you're ahead of me on this issue. Are your interior designers meeting with furniture reps? I've been trying to get answers from our local distributors and haven't been having much luck. The big 3 furniture manufacturers (Steelcase, Herman Miller and Haworth) are likely your better bet.
