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?

Sport Flooring Vent Cove Base

I have a YMCA that is installing wood flooring for their gymnasium. They are required to install vent cove base with this kind of floor. Johnsonite has confirmed that they don't bother to get vent cove base officially certified because they don't sell enough of it to be worth the cost. There is no other provider that we can find. Does that mean that we can't achieve this credit even though there is no possible certified product that we can use? Is there any way to demonstrate the product is not significantly different than other Johnsonite cove base products that are certified? Is there any work around?

Coincidentally, I have just received a submittal from the contractor for a recreation centre I am the LEED consultant; I will post my findings soon...

We will be installing a custom made wood cove base - happily the cost increase is minimal and the esthetic look is fantastic. I have also found a product that used a custom made metal vent cove. I would suggest asking your flooring installer - this is how I solved our conundrum.
