Indoor air quality is an important issue because most people spend
as much as 90% of their time indoors at home, work, or school. Poor
indoor air quality can be caused by a number of factors, including
inadequate ventilation, poor cleaning, and excessive emissions of volatile
organic compounds.
The FloorScore program, developed by the Resilient Floor Covering
Institute (RFCI) in conjunction with Scientific Certification Systems
(SCS), tests and certifies flooring products for compliance with indoor
air quality emission requirements adopted in California. A flooring
product bearing the FloorScore seal has been independently certified
by SCS to comply with the volatile organic compound emissions criteria
of the California Section 01350 program. These flooring products qualify
for use in high performance schools and office buildings in California.
Thus, products with the FloorScore seal have passed a third party certification
process and are recognized as contributing to good indoor air quality
in order to protect human health.
FloorScore certified hard surface flooring products are an alternative
compliance to LEED credit EQ4.3 Low Emitting Materials: Carpet Systems.
