The Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) emissions evaluation criteria for adhesives and sealants should be obtained...

LEED v5 MRc3: Low-Emitting Materials evaluates VOC emissions from applicable interior products and materials. Under the adhesives and sealants product category, LEED specifically includes interior adhesives and sealants that are wet-applied on-site, including products used to install air or vapor barrier membranes and floor-setting materials. This directly corresponds to Option B. A non-structural wall is evaluated principally within the applicable wall-material category, while wet-applied products used on or within assemblies are classified according to their specific product category. Storefront systems are not the intended wet-applied adhesives and sealants example in this requirement. The purpose is to reduce occupants ' exposure to chemical contaminants from interior materials and construction products. Therefore, adhesives or sealants used with an air or vapor barrier membrane are subject to the applicable VOC emissions evaluation. U.S. Green Building Council
