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?

Dear all, Does raised floor must meet the FloorScore requirements? We'll be using CONCORE Raised Access Floor Panel; the product comes laminated. Its % Volatile by Volume equals 0%; it does not own a FloorScore certificate. Any opinion or experience on this? Reference: http://tateinc.com/pdf/product_guide.pdf

Hi Carla. The term "Raised floor" has not been fully addressed in the credit's language. In v4, there is a list of all applicable products (http://www.usgbc.org/node/2634658?view=guide#) but it does not address specifically raised floor. I guess this is because it depends on the type of tile. From the spec sheet you mention, there are some that would qualify, for example, the epoxy-coated ones. For further guidance, it woudl be wise to check the threads on this page, on Jun 19, 2014 and Jan 04, 2012
