FAQs about IEQc4.3 :

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?

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

We have a concrete floor, and we plan on putting a coating on top of the concrete finish. My question: For compliance with LEED 2009 IEQc4.3 (flooring systems), is it enough to have the VOC content of the floor coating compliant with IEQc4.2 (paints and coatings) requirements? Or do we have to test the emissions of the coating as per California Department of Public Health Standard requirements?

Yes, or should I say both. VOC content of the floor coating compliant with IEQc4.2 (paints and coatings) requirements is required to be tested the emissions of the coating as per California Department of Public Health Standard requirements.
