EQ Credit 4.4: Low-Emitting Materials: Composite Wood and Agrifiber Products LEED-NC Credit: YES | UNSURE | NO Credit Intent Same as EQ Credit 4.1 Feasibility This credit incorporates a reduction of indoor air contaminants through the use of composite woods and agrifiber products (such as particle board, plywood, door cores, etc.), as well as laminating adhesives that have no added urea-formaldehyde resins. This does not include interior furniture or equipment. Analysis Same as EQ Credit 4.1. Spec sheets are included for Plyboo, a bamboo plywood, and a wheatcore interior door.
