Paint and LEED V4
Paints and coatings, which impact a building’s overall sustainability, represent two LEED credits in LEED 2009: Low Emitting Materials and Heat Island Effect. In LEED V4, paints may contribute to five credits. These five credits include: Low Emitting Materials, Heat Island Reduction/Cool Roofing, Building Product Disclosure and Optimization, Environmental Product Declarations, Building Product Disclosure and Optimization, Sourcing of Raw Materials and Building Product Disclosure and Optimization, Material Ingredients. This course reviews the credit intents, explains credit requirements and describes where to find materials to meet the requirements of the credits.
Once you complete your course review, you need to take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of fifteen (15) questions to earn 3 PDH credits.
