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

Paints in parking lot.

Mara, I hope you are well, a doubt: the credit applied to the paintings of parking specifically in the paint that goes on the floor to indicate the separation of parking spaces? Parking is underground and has mechanical injection and extraction, and is not a living space for users. I appreciate your support, thank you.

Hi Gabriel, the paint you describe here would need to comply with LEED requirements, given that it's inside of a weatherproofing barrier. Parking structures on their own are not eligible for LEED certification, but those associated with LEED building projects are, and need to follow the credit requirements.

Ok Mara, what is the amount of VOCs, which we must fulfill? Is it considered as a floor covering? Regards.

My best guess is traffic coatings, 100 g/L. I haven't had a project with this condition, so others may be able to verify.
