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.

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

PAINTS LOCATION

Hello: Our project is a Core&Shell office building registered under LEED C&S v2.0 rating system, pursuing credit IEQc4.2 Low-Emitting Materials: Paints and Coatings, there’s something we are not sure about the credit’s scope. Our question is: ¿Do the credit’s requirements include Non occupies spaces like Parking areas? For this project all Parking areas are inside the building both underground parking (basements) and above grade parking.

Gabriel, the credit applies to spaces within the weatherproofing barrier. So a parking area that is essentially outside would not count, but one that is basically within the building would count.

Tristan, I'm confused. During the answer question session with LEED reviewers organized at the Greenbuild 2012, the reviewers confirmed that we do not have to count the paint in underground parking areas. They explained that the parking areas are exposed to several different substances due to movement of vehicles that checking the COV for paint in the parking would not be useful. What should we do?

Devani, if that is what GBCI said, then you should take their advice! My earlier comment here is based on all the published information that I am aware of on this credit, not any direct communication from GBCI, or project-specific CIRs.

My question is the air at underground parking (basement) contact with indoor air? If contact with indoor air i think it must follow LEED requirement. Cmiiw
