I recently had a project manager approach me concerning spray foam insulation that has been specified on a project. The contractor has expressed to the PM that he thinks the product is going to be of concern for the LEED submittal due to the application measures the crew needs to take for applying. I have yet to see the product submittal/cut sheet (it's not my project, I have requested it). But the PM was able to tell me it is being applied within the weather proofing system of the building.... If this is the case, and there are VOCs in the product I imagine this credit applies but I have been unable to locate which category I would put spray foam insulation under. Any thoughts? Thanks!

For discussions of spray polyurethane foam (SPF), see http://www.leeduser.com/comment/redirect/52816 & http://www.leeduser.com/comment/redirect/35584. I am not sure either discussion is conclusive, but there was plenty to discuss. There are several similar conversations on this forum, as this appears to be a hot topic.
