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.

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 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?

Hello, 

Could someone please confirm whether Epoxy Flooring systems would fall under the Paints and Coatings Category under Floor Coating OR would it fall under the Flooring category?  The reference guide does not specifically mention Epoxy Flooring under the Flooring Category.

Thank you in advance!

It falls under both.  If you're going after both categories, list it in both.

This may be an acceptable answer if you are pursuing both categories, though v4 seems to be very clear about not putting items into more than one category anymore. However, most of our current projects are not pursuing the wet applied categories and are only going for flooring and composite wood. So if you are only pursuing the flooring category, is any fluid applied product actually flooring?

I spoke with someone at CAGBC about this and received a response that I was to include it under paints and coatings as it was a floor 'coating' not an actual flooring product. The concrete was the floor, the epoxy was the coating.
