Inquiry

This project consists of (2) wings of (3) story wood framed buildings. The wood beams (LVL\'s) do have urea formaldehyde in the glue resins. The wood structure was able to "off-gas" for a period of time until building was weather-tight. Is credit still achievable due to the "off-gassing"? The framing started July 24, 2007 and completed November 15, 2007. The framing was open to the elements for the course of 60-90 days depending on the enclosure period. We believe this is adequate time for the off-gassing cycle. Equally, we have conducted Air Quality testing during construction and have not had excessive VOC content within the building. We are in our final stages of IAQ testing and preliminary reports are coming back successful. Please advise.
