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.

The link to Rule 1113 in the Resources tab above is broken. By searching the SCAQMD website (and Google), I can only find the most current version of Rule 1113. Can someone please provide a link to the version of Rule 1113 that is applicable to this credit? Thank you very much.

Thank you very much, Jon. I forgot to check usgbc. The version provided through the above web address was amended July 9, 2004, but the Ref Guide referenced the Rules in effect January 1, 2004. So, is USGBC linking to the wrong version, or has there been an addenda updating the SCAQMD reference? Thanks

See pages 9 & 10 of the Rule posted by USGBC. They have highlighted the column showing the VOC limits that came into effect January 1, 2004. You are correct that USGBC's post is the July 9, 2004, amendment instead of the December 5, 2003, amendment that would have been in affect in January 2004. However, the July 9 amendment included only minor technical changes that do not appear to include substantive changes to coating definitions or VOC limits. I have not been able to find a link to the Dec. 2003 amendment, but the link below outlines the changes introduced in the July 2004 amendment (see pages 15-40 of the pdf): http://www.aqmd.gov/docs/default-source/planning/architectural-coatings/current-activities-support-documents/par1113_070904.pdf?sfvrsn=2 This is about as close as I have been able to find.

Thanks, Jon. I did find the 2003 "Staff Report for Amended Rule" document here: http://sfprod.aqmd.gov/docs/default-source/planning/architectural-coatings/current-activities-support-documents/par1113_120503.pdf?sfvrsn=2 This seems to have the "rules in effect 1/1/2004" within the document. I just wanted to confirm I have the final correct version. Thanks for your help.
