FAQs about IEQc4.2 :

How should graphic arts paint or coatings be categorized?

The standards referenced for this credit have been updated since those listed in the LEED Reference Guide – does our project need to follow the latest SCAQMD Rules and Green Seal editions, or the ones listed in the reference guide?

How should handheld aerosol spray paints be handled?

What are the VOC limits for primers? They seem to be listed in both GS-11 and SCAQMD Rule 1113.

NC-2009 IEQc4.2:Low-Emitting Materials—Paints and Coatings

VOC Limits

Hi. If you have a project that is utilizing LEED NC 2009, Do products have to comply with the latest Rule 1113 that was updated in September 2013 or if it was registered prior to it, just have to comply with what's in the reference guide?

For LEED 2009, Rule 1113 is essentially a fly in amber locked into the limits in effect on January 1, 2004. An interpretation last year allows substitution of the CARB 2007 Suggested Control Measure for architectural coating VOC for any of the coating categories. The reference standards are now posted on the USGBC website: http://www.usgbc.org/node/1732511?view=resources The original, printed Reference Guide should be used as a first glance due to the later Credit Interpretations. The 2013 interpretations is intended to smooth out potential conflicts with green building codes. http://www.usgbc.org/node/1732511?view=interpretations
