Inquiry

Our project is located in South Korea which uses VOC emission rate as the standard for low VOC products based on the laboratory test method ISO 16000-9. The low VOC Korean Standard (KS) is implemented by the Korea Air Cleaning Association. Our issue is that the KS measures VOC emission rate in mg/(m^2)hr in contrast to the Green Seal (g/l). Will the USGBC accept the VOC measurement in emission rate in lieu of g/l? If this is acceptable, please advise us on how the emission rate in mg/(m^2)hr will be converted to g/l for comparison.
