CI-2009 IEQc4.1: Low-Emitting Materials—Adhesives and Sealants
I am trying to report materials for IEQ Credit 4.1 and am not sure which category my materials are supposed to be reported under. The materials are thin-set mortar, waterproofing (over or under tile) and grout. Should these be contact adhesives? Top and trim adhesives? Special purpose contact adhesives?

Do products applied to the weather barrier need to comply with VOC thresholds?
How do I determine what application my product falls under?
How is VOC % less water determined for aerosol adhesives?
Do grout and caulking need to be included, and if so, what is the application category?
