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?

We have ceramic tile flooring on our project and I understand this is exempt from the testing requirements but do you need to list it on the IEQ4.3 form? There's an option for "Flooring: Ceramic" and the Floorscore referenced standard comes up automatically when adding this material. Since the tile is exempt from the testing requirements and we have no documentation indicating it complies with Floorscore I would assume we don't need to include it on the form. Is this correct?

Rachael - While what you wrote makes sense, it is not correct. According to LI ID #10267 (http://www.usgbc.org/leed-interpretations?keys=10267) exempt products must be shown on IEQc4.3's form. See details on using an Alternative Compliance Path in this LI. Also, as a guest to LEEDuser, you can't see the FAQ above that is entitled: "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 requirements?" but it outlines this LI.
