FAQs about IEQc4.1 :

Is there a shortcut to the VOC budget method if you have just one product that is used minimally on a project?

Do products applied to the weather barrier need to comply with VOC thresholds?

How do I determine what application my product falls under?

How is VOC % less water determined for aerosol adhesives?

Do grout and caulking need to be included, and if so, what is the application category?

Our project didn't use some common adhesive types, and our LEED reviewer asked about this. Are we supposed to justify not using certain adhesives in our documentation?

Hi, We don't have any chemists here but we were wondering if, when an MSDS lists Volatiles = 0%, but does not list VOCs in g/L formt, can we assume that VOCs=0 as well? We see this all the time in grouts, for example, that are inert materials plus water. Thanks!

I would not assume that, they are not always linked. Volatility (chemistry) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In chemistry and physics, volatility is the tendency of a substance to vaporize. Volatility is directly related to a substance's vapor pressure. At a given temperature, a substance with higher vapor pressure vaporizes more readily than a substance with a lower vapor pressure
