Big Green: Spray Insulation & VOC's

[Andrew Gil]

Has anyone stumbled across the question of whether the LEED has VOC limits for spray insulation? We've assumed that it would, and that this would be covered under EQ-4.1 Adhesives and Sealants and the reference standard SCAQMD Rule 1168. However, even though there is definitions of, and/or mention of "aerosol -special purpose- adhesives", "foam" and "Polyurethane Foams", we don't see any product classifications or Specialty Applications that apply to this type of product. Of course I think that it SHOULD be covered, but the immediate question is whether inclusion is mandated and to what VOC limit?

Many Thanks,
