NC-v4 EQc2: Low emitting materials
To achieve the low emittig material credit, it says that category of paintings needs to agree with 90% emission and 100% VOC,, does this mean that each product under category of painting needs to achieve these percentages or we consider it as total ( one category )? for example if we have moisture resistant paint and epoxy paint..
thanks in advance,

Are throw rugs subject to the credit requirements?
What are the adhesives and sealants to be included in the documentation?
Is there a VOC budget method for this credit?
What are the limits on the VOC budget method?
Do products applied to the weather barrier need to comply with VOC thresholds?
If one part of my multicomponent wall system is not compliant, can I still get full credit?

Hi Sara,
The category as a whole is considered for the 90%, based on volume used of the paint products that have emissions testing vs those that do not. It helps to play around with the calculator a bit if you want to familiarize (perhaps use an old project for reference and use dummy volumes). Then you look at the summary tab and see where you're meeting. It updates as you go!
