FAQs about IEQc4.2 :

How should graphic arts paint or coatings be categorized?

The standards referenced for this credit have been updated since those listed in the LEED Reference Guide – does our project need to follow the latest SCAQMD Rules and Green Seal editions, or the ones listed in the reference guide?

How should handheld aerosol spray paints be handled?

What are the VOC limits for primers? They seem to be listed in both GS-11 and SCAQMD Rule 1113.

two questions: Does anyone know what the VOC limits is for metal primers? It is unclear to me from the VOC limit charts. With the answer to that question in mind, does anyone know of any metal primers that are compliant?

If your metal is being primed off site then the VOC of that primer does not contribute to your LEED project. Typically, I use the anti-corrosive limit for all paints and coatings scheduled to be applied to metals since their primary reason the item is being painted is to limit rusting.
