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.

In your opinion, a vermiculite gypsum based wet mix spray - proposed to protect concrete and steel structure from fire - should be included in IEQ c4.2 for a project in Italy pursuing LEED 2009 Core and Shell certification? If yes, under which standard (Green Seal Standard or SCAQMD Rule) should the product be tested? This kind of fire retardant coating (quite similar to a spray applied plaster) appears to me quite different from any intumescent painting.

Anybody know the answer to this? I would also like to know how a fire proof type coating would be categorized.

I would suggest that more information would be required - MSDS, brand name. I would suggest speaking to the supplier/manufacturer....
