Anti-Rust vs flat primer

NC-2009 IEQc4.2:Low-Emitting Materials—Paints and Coatings
posted by  Michelle Raigosa  on 

Does anyone have any insight/thoughts/comments/experience about categorizing an anti-rust coating as compared to categorizing the product as a flat coating/primer?

we are trying to identify a product to check its VOC limit, however, the supplier identified the product as Prefabricated Architectural Multi- Component and touch up from RULE 1107.

whiteboard paint

What category would whiteboard paint fall under? Plan to use IdeaPaint which has a COC of 325 g/L, don't want to calculate the VOC budget method if not necessary. Thanks!

Industrial Coating

Hello all, My project includes an industrial floor which will be subject to high abrasion, scrubbing etc, therefore I expect the 250 g/l limit to apply.

Fire-retardant coatings

The table on LEED online does not provide with the option for fire-retardant coatings. What other category should be used and what is the VOC limit for fire-retardant coatings?

VOC Content in VOC Budget Method

NC-2009 IEQc4.2:Low-Emitting Materials—Paints and Coatings
posted by  Aber Alvi  on 

For a project located outside US, should the VOC content of a paint or coating not tested as per SCAQMD or Green Seal or CARB Standards be included in the VOC budget method?

VOC Budget - Documentation

I am documenting the paints and coatings credit and I have one non-compliant paint that I need to offset. I want to do it with a single offset and I know that is allowable.

Primers - really?

In my opinion, LEED 2009 incorrectly categorizes primers. I know that the table issued with the 4/14/10 addendum clearly lumps primers into the GS-11 requirements. This I don’t understand.
