Low-Emitting Materials

To reduce concentrations of chemical contaminants that can damage air quality, human health, productivity, and the environment.

Under LEED v4 Emission and Content Requirements, and Green Globes VOC for wall systems, concrete and concrete masonry are specifically listed among products that are inherently nonemitting, and therefore are considered fully compliant without testing, if it does not include integral organic-based surface coatings or sealers.
