One of our clients is planning to use a tackable fabric tile composed of NAUF MDF, fiberboard (fiberglass with a urea formaldehdye resin), UF-free adhesive and fabric. The tile is like a sandwich. The fiberglass layer is clearly not wood nor agrifiber. But it does contain urea formaldehyde. In a case where this layer is glued to the MDF, what is your sense of its ability to meet IEQc4.4? Thanks!

No, I do not believe this would meet the requirements, certainly not the intent of the credit. As the material is manufactured off site and arrives as a single building material material, the material contains UF and would not meet the criteria.

Many thanks. My sentiments exactly.
