Editorial summary

Small-scale FLEC tests were used to rank VOC emissions from individual timber-building products, while 30 m3 rooms assessed complete construction assemblies. Emissions generally declined over time, and covering surfaces with gypsum board had little long-term effect on total VOC levels.

FLEC use

Direct FLEC measurements

The study explicitly reports FLEC testing of 26 individual products before comparing them with measurements in 30 m3 model rooms.
