[Greenbuilding] Soft flooring

[David Bergman]

Rubber floors can have some pretty strong offgassing issues -- so 
there may be either health issues or just "scent" issues -- the 
recycled rubber floor samples I've received have a very definite and 
strong scent to them. Perhaps airing them out for a period would help.
