NC-v4 EQc2: Low emitting materials
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!

Are throw rugs subject to the credit requirements?
What are the adhesives and sealants to be included in the documentation?
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?

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.
