We are trying to achieve LEED EQ Credit 4.4 Low-Emitting materials for composite wood products. We are specifying and installing composite wood and agrifiber products without urea formaldehyde in every application in the building except one: Class1 fire-retardant building assemblies? Do Class 1 fire-retardant building assemblies have to meet the requirements of this credit, given that we know of only one fire-rated composite wood product (without added-urea formaldehyde) that is available in the marketplace?
Per CIR Ruling (EQc4.4) dated 6/17/2004 - all composite wood products that are contained within the exterior moisture protection barrier of a building are controlled products under this credit, regardless of required fire ratings or construction type.
