FAQs about IEQc4.2 :

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

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?

Acrylic enamel/lacquer in aerosol, non-flat

Good afternoon, does anyone know the VOC allowance for an acrylic enamel/lacquer in aerosol, non-flat? I do not know in which product type does this product falls into to take the VOC limit. Thanks in advance,

Aerosols are not covered in any of the referenced VOC or emissions limits in LEED 2009 or LEEDv4. Typically, they would be low volume usage - many flash quickly with primary exposure risks to applicators and other trades, but relatively low risk to later occupants. I advise to use judiciously with appropriate jobsite management practices. However, this class of coating is not explicitly called out in the credit language.
