NC-v4 EQc2: Low emitting materials
I am confused in how the Reference Guide explains the Option 1 calculations for wet-applied products. On pg. 664 in Table 4, it shows a VOC Budget calculation in reference to Option 1 and states you have to compare a baseline and design case in a VOC content budget.
I thought Option 2 only requires the VOC Budget, and Option 1 only requires VOC compliance and compliance with CDPH v1.1-2010.
Can someone provide me a better explanation?
Thank you.

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?

If your wet-applied products are 100% compliant with the VOC content limits, then Option 1 doesn't require a VOC budget. The option to do a VOC budget is available to you, if you have some products that don't meet the requirements.
