We have a building that contains both existing and new construction. I wonder how we should determine the LEED points we will achieve given certain percentage savings.

posted by  Erin Holdenried  on 

I have a project with wood (not composite wood) deck areas. How does one determine the SRI of the wood? Is there a default value available for light, medium, or dark wood?

How are individual guestroom VTACs calculated?

posted by  Karen Heet  on

The VOC content limit for aerosol adhesives is expressed as a percentage by weight per the requirements and per the LEEDuser FAQ above (though the link doesn't seem to work).
