Indoor Environmental Quality: Indoor Air Quality Assessment
The intent of the credit is to establish better quality indoor air in the building after construction and
during occupancy.
Indoor Air Quality Assessment
Option 1 Option 2
• Conduct baseline IAQ testing after construction and before occupancy
• Demonstrate contaminants do not exceed concentration levels
• ASTM Standards; EPA or ISO
Maximum Credits 2
• Before occupancy flush‐out• 14,000 cubic feet of outdoor air persquare foot of gross floor area
• Internal temperature at least 60o and no higher than 80o
• Relative humidity 60%
Maximum Credit 1
Flush-Out IAQ Testing

After TintingVOCs
Before TintingLow VOCs
CALIFORNIA SCAQMD ‘COLORANT’Limits the grams of VOC per liter to 50 grams
• Tinting can add 100 g/L or more to a can of paint.
• Waterborne colorants are made from Resins not Solvents!• Solvents are paint thinners – add significant VOCs
• Paints tinted with waterborne technology will not impact Air Quality testing – No VOCs added
29
Option 2: Air Quality TestingBenefits• Paints tinted with waterborne technology will not impact
the Air Quality testing – NO VOCs added!
• Benefits of Option 2• Immediate occupancy• Two Points versus One Pointmay be the difference in achieving the next level ofLEED v4 Certification

Indoor Environmental Quality:Interior Lighting
The intent of the credit is is to provide less artificial light for occupants and to reduce energy costs.
Two Options under Interior Lighting to achieve credits
Option 2 offers a strategy that Paint & Coatings can indirectly influence to achieve
Interior Lighting Credits
Interior LightingOption 2 – “D”
31
D. Use direct-only overhead lighting for 25% or less of the total connected lighting load for all regularly occupied spaces.
MidRange
Light Reflective Value (LRV) Scale
Option 2: Interior Lighting Lighting Quality Strategy with LRV
“Have in place direct-only overhead light for 25% or less of the total connected lighting load for all regularly occupied spaces.”
LRV 10
Below 50%Color is Darker
Absorbing more light than it will reflect
back in the room
LRV 84
Above 50%Color is Lighter
Reflect more light back into the room
than is absorbed
34
Sustainable Sites:Heat Island Reduction
The intent of this credit is to minimize effects on microclimates and human and wildlife habitats by
reducing heat islands.
There are two options under Heat Island Reductionto earn credits.
Sustainable Sites:Heat Island Reduction
Option 1 Option 2
• Highly Reflective Paints
• SRI is measured on scale of 0 to 100
• The higher the SRI the cooler the material
Maximum Credit 1
• Roof: 75% to be high reflectance material or green roof
• Non‐Roof: 50% to be shaded area or high reflectance paving materials
Maximum Credits 2(Except Healthcare – 1 Credit)
36
Materials and Resources:Building Product Disclosure and Optimization
The intent of these credits are to provide greater transparency of the environmental
impacts of products.
20 different products from at least 5 manufacturers are documented in an Excel Workbook andreviewed by GBCI to determine the points
allocated for each category.
• Encourages the use of products and materials with a life-cycle analysis report.
• Rewards project teams for selecting products from manufacturers who have verified improved environmental life-cycle impacts.
• Check Manufacturer’s website for paint & coatings with LCA and/or EPDs.
Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)
Possible 2 Points: Declaration and Optimization
Declaration: Use 20 different products, at least 5 manufacturersOptimization: Use products that meet at least 25%, by cost, of the total value of permanently installed building products in the project.
Sourcing of Raw Material
• Zeros in on sustainable practices around raw material extraction.
• Check manufacturers website for Sourcing of Raw Material reports. • Self-declared Report or
a Corporate Sustainability Report
Possible 2 Points: Declaration and Optimization
Declaration: Use 20 different products, at least 5 manufacturersOptimization: Use products that meet at least 25%, by cost, of the total value of permanently installed building products in the project.
Material Ingredients
• Encourages building designers to choose products that do not contain potentially harmful chemicals
• Check Manufacturer’s website for products that are verified by Cradle-to-Cradle, Health Product Declaration or GreenScreen.
Possible 2 Points: Declaration and Optimization
Declaration: Chemical inventory to 1000 ppm from 20 different products, at least 5 manufacturersOptimization: Use products that meet at least 25%, by cost, of the total value of permanently installed building products in the project.

• Multi‐attribute third party certification
• A product receives an achievement level in five categories
• Silver, Gold and Platinum levels are eligible for credit under Material Ingredient Disclosure and Optimization.
Third Party Certifiers
Cradle to Cradle Health Product Declaration GreenScreen®
• Comparative chemical hazard assessment.
• Identify chemicals of high concern and help manufacturers choosing safer alternatives.
• Licensed GreenScreen® profilers.
• Ensures transparency and ingredient disclosure.
• Full disclosure of known health hazard.
• Proprietary information not disclosed but health hazards reported.
48
Summary
• The budget calculation under option 2 of the Low‐Emitting material credit evaluates paint and coatings as part of the Assembly ‐ offering project managers an alternative for specifying paint that may not meet the VOC emissions and content requirements.
• Indoor Air Quality testing offers the benefit of immediate occupancy and an additional credit.
• Using a paint color with a high Light Reflectance Value can make the most of daylight ‐ decreasing the reliance on artificial light sources.
• Highly reflective material or green roofs can mitigate the heat island effect.
• Your paint manufacturers website is a valuable resource for products that meet the LEED v4 requirements.
