FAQs about IEQc4.1 :

Is there a shortcut to the VOC budget method if you have just one product that is used minimally on a project?

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?

Our project didn't use some common adhesive types, and our LEED reviewer asked about this. Are we supposed to justify not using certain adhesives in our documentation?

Over limit adhesive used while building is open

I am on a project where the contractor used an adhesive that exceeds the VOC limit for that type but the building was open when they used it. Does this count for being "inside the weather barrier"? My initial thought was yes, but wanted to get your thoughts too. (My apologies if this is already addressed in this thread - I searched a few keywords and didn't find anything specific to this case.)

Yes, technically, it has been applied on what will be "inside the weather barrier", so the product must be reported. You will need to use the VOC budget Method.( http://www.leeduser.com/credit/NC-2009/IEQc4.1#gid-tab/14251 )
