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.
