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?

CI-2009 IEQc4.3:Low-Emitting Materials—Flooring Systems

Rug

Hello, I am working on a project where it is proposed to lay a rug directly on top of the raised floor in some areas. As, whilst this will act as a floor finish, it is a rug and therefore a lose item, I assume that it does not need to meet the requirements of the credit. Any thoughts would be very much appreciated. Many thanks! Alicia

Hi Alicia, We can refer to the above quote on the bird's eye view: "Are throw rugs subject to the credit requirements? While finding low-emitting throw rugs would be a good idea, they would not be considered "permanently installed" and so would not be subject to credit requirements." I hope that helps.
