Hello all,
My project includes an industrial floor which will be subject to high abrasion, scrubbing etc, therefore I expect the 250 g/l limit to apply.
However I am looking for clarification that this 250 g/l limit has not been updated to a more stringent limit. Table 1 on P483 of the reference guide also provides 100 g/l limit in 7/1/06 - which promotes doubt on the applicable level. When I look for updates the floor coating is always listed as 100 g/l with no mention of industrial related limits.
Can someone provide clarity on whether projects are to follow the 2004 date on this matter, or is it necessary to apply the 100 g/l limit.
Thanks!

Hello all,
I have the same question as Francis. Is there any information concerning this point? Which limit shall be applied to industrial maintenance coating for LEED NC-2009 - 250 g/l or 100 g/l?
Thanks in advance.

LEED 2009 sets the criteria as per the VOC content limits established in South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Rule 1113, Architectural Coatings, rules in effect on January 1, 2004; therefore 250 g/l. I am not aware of an addendum to dispute this.

However, when you move up to LEED V4, (SCAQMD) Rule 1113, effective June 3, 2011.
