Big Green: LEED: appeals/flexibility on VOC limits

[Christopher Sweetnam-Holmes]

if your spec was properly written- you should demand that the contractor
remove and replace the product- yes- it will be a lot of work- but that is
why we have contracs and specs.

Subject: Big Green: LEED: appeals/flexibility on VOC limits



Hello,

 

I’m working on my first LEED project and we’ve run into a potential problem:
our HVAC subcontractor mistakenly used a duct sealant that exceeded the
allowable VOC limits. I believe this is the only speed bump to our achieving
the point for Credit EQ 4.1.

 

Does anyone have experience appealing minor issues such as this one? Does
the review and appeal process provide any wiggle room for minor, unintended
mistakes?

 

Thanks,  Lee
