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.

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

Leather

Hello! We are building a deluxe hotel and the interiorist is willing to use leather coating for room doors. I´m not pretty sure if is it possible to use this material in a willing to certify NC building, or if there´s no problem with it if we pay attention to the adhesive we use! I´m not finding anything about this material but i suspect it´s not allowed... Can you help me!? Thanks!

For the adhesives, yes they would need to be low emitting if the product is applied on site. Otherwise, I'd say new leather isn't LEED-able in the MRc6 sense but aren't banned. Not sure how much this will help you but here is a recycled leather product: http://www.ecodomo.com/products/recycled.shtml .
