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?

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

IEQc4.2 - Location

I am working on LEED CS for high-rise building. I have questions about the location that needs to apply Low-VOC paints and coatings. As I understand, the paints and coatings used on the interior of the building must be Low-VOC content. How does LEED defy "interior of the building"? The interior side of the open-air area such as car parking or building entry with canopy would be considered as interior or exterior of the building? I also don't completely understand what they mean "inside of the weatherproofing system".

Yuthadania,"inside of the weatherproofing system" means inside of the air barrier or other barrier system which encloses the building envelope. I do not think it includes open areas such as parking and building entry where there are not 4 walls enclosing those spaces.
