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.
