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?

On version 4.0 of the LEED Online Form, if you selected "Flooring: Mineral-based" or "Unfinished/Untreated Solid Wood", then under "Referenced Standard" the word "exempt would appear. This feature seems to have disappeared on version 5.0 of the Form. Has anyone else experienced this, or is it a glitch? Thanks!

Erica - USGBC did remove the automatic filled "Exempt" on the v05 form when it was released in 2012. What I do is pick "Flooring: Mineral-Based" or "Flooring:Unfinished/Untreated Solid Wood" but leave the Referenced Standard column blank (don't pick one of the choices in the dropdown menu). Then I type in Exempt in the Source of Compliance or Certification Data column. The v06 form reverted to how it was done on the v04 form and the only choice in the dropdown for the Referenced Standard is "No IAQ Testing Requirements" for both of those material types.
