FAQs about IEQc4.3 :

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

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?

Our clients want to use a 100% cashmere goat hair carpet tile made by Tretford in Great Britain in a special conference room. (That's going to feel spectacular on the feet!) No, of course Thetford has never applied for Green Label Plus, but they have the following credentials: BRE Global Listed ENP 419, UKAS Product Certification, ISO. I am not sure how to proceed to find out the equiivalence to Green Label, or if it is even possible. Can someone get me started down the right path?

Susan - unfortunately the BRE listings/certifications don't correspond with the requirements in EQ c4.3. While Green Label Plus is the main requirement for carpets - if you could prove that your flooring met the CA 01350 requirements, you could probably get the credit, but that takes product emission testing as well.
