FAQs about EQc2 :

Is all solid wood considered inherently non-emitting? I’ve seen sources that say only solid wood flooring counts as inherently non-emitting.

Our building is atypical, and the walls and ceilings are not clearly defined. How should we classify these components? 

Are throw rugs subject to the credit requirements?

If a ceramic tile receives a top coat after it is manufactured, is it exempt from the credit requirements?

What are the adhesives and sealants to be included in the documentation?

I'm looking for a certification that tells me if a given product will meet the LEED v4 requirements, but I don't see one in a given product area. Am I missing something?

When products claim that they meet California Section 01350, does the product also meet LEED v4 requirements for low-emitting materials?

How do I know if a product complies with LEED v4 or if it was tested under an older non-compliant standard?

In past versions of LEED, it was easy to specify VOC limits. Is the specification process the same for LEED v4?

Is there a VOC budget method for this credit?

What are the limits on the VOC budget method?

Do products applied to the weather barrier need to comply with VOC thresholds? 

If one part of my multicomponent wall system is not compliant, can I still get full credit?

Our client is willing to install made to measure furniture that will be composed of elements from 2 pieces of furniture that meet the credit requirements. Is a specific test for the final product required or can we submit the documentation we have for the 2 piece of furniture already compliant?

Hi Charline, Curious to hear what others think, but I don't see any issue with this approach since the Furniture TVOC testing verifies any emissions resulting from raw material processing (engineered woods, foams, fabrics etc) along with the fabrication of the finished furniture item (adhesives, finish coatings, etc). Is the combination of products occurring in the factory or in the field during installation? Assuming they will be mechanically combined (brackets/screws) there would be no added VOC materials involved during installation. Any additional adhesives/sealants used in the installation could be documented as field applied (wet) products, similar to how custom millwork documentation is approached.
