Green Seal is not longer a reference standard in LEED v4 - Low Emitting Materials, new construction and hospitality, among others.

Is there a lady or gentleman out there that knows the correct reference standard for v4? Perhaps SCAQMD #1168 and #1113 only?

Thanks,

Wayne

Starting on Pg 117. (looks like it isn't recognizing the hyperlink in it's entirety ... better copy and paste)

[Colin - from page 120 of this document for US based projects:

General emissions evaluation. Building products must be tested and determined compliant in accordance with California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Standard Method v1.1 – 2010, using the applicable exposure scenario. The default scenario is the private office scenario. The manufacturer’s or third - party certification must state the exposure scenario used to determine compliance. Claims of compliance for wet-applied products must state the amount applied in mass per surface area.]

The CDPH reference is the one used throughout MasterSpec for low emitting materials. This makes it easy to set the requirement if you are a MS subscriber.
