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

Has anyone had any experience with synthetic grass flooring systems in pet relief areas? The previous posts about artificial turf focus on sports turf and there seem to be some Greenguard certified sports turf products but none appropriate for pet areas. Does anyone know of a pet relief grass product that has been tested against the California Department of Health Services Standard Practice for the Testing of Volatile Organic Emissions from Various Sources Using Small-Scale Environmental Chambers? Do the requirements of this credit even apply to these systems?

I think you would have to include these systems in the credit. I don't know of a compliant system, though!

Deborah, did you have any conclusions from this issue? Did you find a pet relief turf that was compliant?
