NC-v4 EQc2: Low emitting materials
Does anyone know what the max allowable VOC limit is for a dissipation concrete curing compound? The product data submittal states VOC content is 301 g/L. I read that the USGBC requirement is 350 g/L while in another web search I read the LEED v4 requirement is 50 g/L.

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?

The usgbc provided Low-Emitting Materials calculator lists the allowable limits.
This is downloadable at: https://www.usgbc.org/resources/leed-v41-low-emitting-materials-calculator
I believe concrete curing compound has a limit of 100 g/l. If used for roadways or bridges the limit is 350 g/l.
Not sure where 50 g/l came from.
Hope this helps!
