What is the correct way to account for kitchen hood exhaust and the consequential 100% OA makeup energy? This is a commercial kitchen and serving area in a hospital. Thanks in advance.

How much is the allowance for non-flat?

CS-2009 IEQc4.2:Low-Emitting Materials—Paints and Coatings
posted by  Gabriela Hernández Castillo  on 

GS-11 on page 13 says that for non-flat topcoat the v.o.c. limit is 100. Is is 100 or 150 (please take a look at the bird's eye view)?
