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

California testing standard for VOC

For IEQ 4.3, VOC in flooring, does anyone have a copy of the California Standard Practice for the Testing of Volatile Organic Emissions from Various Sources using small-scale environmental chambers - 2004-01 - Final with Addendum? The link to the pdf online is broken, no longer cal-iag.org related to environmental information. We do not have a copy downloaded from previous projects, unfortunately. We are dealing with Italian wood flooring and asking them for evidence of testing that complies with the LEED reference criteria. Any help appreciated.

That's it, thanks Brent. It is a dense document, will take some deciphering, but good to have as a reference while we close out our v2009 projects.

Happy to help. That website is a bit of a mess right now. I bumped into a similar issue with another topic not too long ago, so I was lucky to have it handy!
