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?

NC-v4 EQc2:Low emitting materials

Applicable Materials for Walls/Ceilings/Floors

Applicable or not?  1. Tile backerboard like Georgia Pacific DensShield that has tile installed over it on the walls.  2. Concrete sealer used on the floor of the non-inhabited mechanical room?

Hi Brianne, The concrete sealer is included as an interior coating, even though the room is not inhabited, the VOCs can still affect other habitable areas. There is additional guidance on the page linked below in the walls section that states that all of the wall system components must be included (substrate and adhesives as well). https://www.usgbc.org/credits/new-construction-core-and-shell-retail-new-construction-data-centers-new-construction-hosp-0?view=guide
