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.

Chris, I was successful on a LEED for Schools 2009 classifying concrete stain as a Stain with a VOC limit of 250.

This would be consistent with the CARB SCM and Rule 1113 Stain category definitions and agency intent. The regulatory definition is: Stain: A semitransparent or opaque coating labeled and formulated to change the color of a surface but not conceal the grain pattern or texture.
