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.

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?

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?

NC-v4 EQc2:Low emitting materials

Difference in VOC complaince/non-compliance depending on Regulation?

For VOC compliance for a paint/coating, the language is as follows:  "All paints and coatings wet-applied on site must meet the applicable VOC limits of the California Air Resources Board (CARB) 2007, Suggested Control Measure (SCM) for Architectural Coatings, or the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Rule 1113, effective June 3, 2011."

Is it possible to have a product be compliant based on one Regulation and non-compliant based on another? As an example, Dry Fog Coatings:

SCAQMD Rule 1113 - 50 g/l

CARB 2007 - 150 g/l

And there are no guides on which one takes precedence? Your spec probably states that the most stringent requirement takes precedence. It is a little broad but that probably applies here as well. But there are two basic types of dry fall coatings and you need to match the technical need for one type over the other. The one you need may be a higher VOC than the 50g/L, just a hint.
