Inquiry

Green Seal GS-11 and GC-03 do not address stains, lacquers, varnishes, sealers and paint applied by aerosol cans. For an interior application, what if any, requirements for VOC and chemical content should these products meet? Are they exempt? Even though many materials requiring these products can be finished off site, there is still a need for field application and touch-up for a small percentage of surfaces. Is this interior touch-up and/or application of coatings that do not meet Green Seal or ARB addressed by "Calculations", p. 247, LEED Reference Package, Version 2? If so, are only paint and carpet VOC to be addressed in the building budget?
