FAQs about IEQc4.3 :

On a renovation, should flooring that is previously installed be subject to the credit requirements?

One flooring adhesive we are using falls under both IEQc4.1 and IEQc4.3, and is over the VOC limit. We are using the VOC budget method to meet IEQc4.1 requirements, but are we automatically disqualifed from IEQc4.3?

The credit requirements are allowed to exempt unfinished wood flooring from the credit requirements, but wood flooring is almost always finished. This is confusing!

I have an international project and my flooring products aren’t tested using any of the above standards. How can I tell if they still comply?

If I have no flooring products in the scope of my project, can I earn this credit?

How do I handle a polished concrete floor?

Should mineral-based finish flooring products (without any integral organic-based coatings and sealants) and unfinished/untreated solid wood flooring be documented on the IEQc4.3 LEED Online form, even though they are exempt from certification requirement

CI-2009 IEQc4.3:Low-Emitting Materials—Flooring Systems

Hi,
I believe I already know

Hi, I believe I already know the answer but I want to make a double check with you. I'm working on a project that installed a rubber floor that is Greenguard Gold Certified for Low VOC Emissions instead of Floorscore. I believe that the project still complies with the intent. What do you think?

Bernardo - you are correct. Greenguard Gold or Greenguard Children & Schools certification is acceptable in lieu of FloorScore (these are CA 01350 compliant).
