Hi, We are using asphalt as a coating on a concrete floor for interior parking. We can't find any requirement on VOC limits, and the supplier has no information on COV content, except a percentage of mass variation. One may wonder why we are covering the concrete with asphalt rather than just sealing it on joints. We do it to protect it as It has revealed itself to be the best solution in our climate. The building is located in an area where winters are very severe (Quebec QC). The parking area is accesory to the offices located in the building and in any case does not represent 75% of the building`s area. Has anybody experienced this situation before in application like this one or similar? Thank you!

This credit only looks at coatings applied within the conditioned area of the building, so I doubt your parking area would be of concern. If cars are driving inside your building, you have bigger air quality problems to worry about than the coating! ;-)
