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?

Is anyone aware of any pet turf that will meet the EQc Low-Emitting Materials flooring requirements? This is for an indoor pet relief area inside of an airport that is seeking LEED certification. The only artifical turf that I am aware of that is Mondoturf, which is a sports turf, not pet relief turf. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I did find this test for K9 turf from Forever Lawn:  https://k9grass.com/solutions-we-offer/architectural-specs/ Maybe they would be willing to do a CDPH VOC emissions test for you?  Is this a fairly small area?  If so, you may want to consider switching to v4.1. The SF may be under the SF threshold for non-compliant products. v4.1 Low emitting materials - FLOORING At least 90% of all flooring, by cost or surface area, meets the VOC emissions evaluation OR inherently nonemitting sources criteria, OR salvaged and reused materials criteria.
