Touch ups

Just noticed something interesting - v4 still contains language that specifies "all [products] wet-applied on site". v4.1 does NOT contain that qualification. This suggests that LEED is moving towards requiring all wet-applied products have to comply with CDPH emissions, whether or not they are applied on-site.
Have you tried asking your LEED coach? Curious to hear their response.

Hi Deborah, I also noticed that an explicit mention of "wet-applied" is missing under the VOC emissions evaluation section in v4.1. But in the previous section which lists the compliance threshold requirements for each low emitting category, you will see a clear mention that "the paints and coatings category includes all interior paints and coatings applied on site."

To answer the question about touch-up volumes, I would look at the thresholds of 75% for VOC emissions by volume or surface area and 100% for VOC content compliance. So up to 25% of volumes applied onsite may be exempted from emissions evaluation but not from VOC content compliance.

Sagar is right. What this means (and it is confirmed by the LEED reviews we have received) is that project teams should as a matter of practice determine the respective volumes of products used, and/or the surface area. Not a simple task if you have large, complex projects.
