FAQs about IEQc4.2 :

What are the VOC limits for primers? They seem to be listed in both GS-11 and SCAQMD Rule 1113.

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?

we are a GC working on a project that is the renovation of a historic bldg and that renovation started a very long time ago '(about 3 yrs ago) and about a year before the project was registered for LEED. The project also includes a new building that will be adjoining to the old bldg. The project was registered for leed about 2 years ago (1 year or so after the 1st phase started). the phase II of the project which includes the real bulk of renovation and new construction work is what is registered for LEED certification. do we need to include all materials including VOCs for both phase I and phase II or just materials and vocs for products installed during phase II. What time does phase II start at time of registration or at time the phase Ii contract starts aug. 2016? thanks

This is a bigger question than just this credit. My assessment would be that you set your LEED project area and scope, and at the beginning of the project, all prerequisites and credit requirements begin from that point. Therefore, if the LEED certification application is being made for the entire project, then all tracking and reporting begins at the design phase of the project overall. But if work was done before the LEED certification was registered or contemplated, then the date of registration for the project would be your start date.

Many Thanks John-David! Yes the project was registered for LEED v2009 a long time after design was started and even after some of the Phase 1 work was started. My feeling is only this Phase II for which the project is registered under LEED should really apply. As Phase I was really just for repairing the existing building to make is structurally stable / sound like brick and mortar tear off and repair/replacement. I appreciate your comments on this. Regards, Debra
