In the LEED

Hi Pat..
Thnx a lot for ur website…
I was confused about the
Green Seal standard Anti-Corrosive and Anti-Rust Paints: GS-03.
The erratas somewhr say its GC-03 & not GS-03..
Also the green seal website says its GC-03..
but all other resources for leed puporses say GS-03..Can u pls clarify with the point of exam what to follow.
Thnx in advance

oh, for real?On the Green Seal Website itself! I thought it was referring to
Green Seal: GS _G reen _S eal, no?

What about GS11 and GS36?

Could it be a giant typo or errata on the errata???

I would love a clarification too!

when should cut-sheet to be submitted?

By cici on Jul 27, 2008

cut sheets are submitted, I believe, when asked in the random credit audits in the final review. The paper work needs to be collected but not all gets actually seen in the reviews.

I asked the question whether GC or GS to the Green Seal website, No answer… I think it IS GC, nice if it could be confirmed… if they think it is important to ask this as a question, it needs to be clarified!

Anti-Corrosive Paints (GC-03)
is the first result that comes up from the google search ‘green seal standard gc’.

A search for gs-03 is fairly spotty, I think it’s safe to assume gc is the standard for Anti-Corrosive Paints referenced.

Thanks Matt,
I think you are right, I went to the website and asked them the question to clarify, and never got an answer.
Even though I have taken the test, and am LEED AP, I realize by still getting notices of contributions from this site shows that I studied misinformation from the reference guide, and it would be nice if the Green Seal people would dignify my question with an answer,(a professional courtesy?) There is probably a whole generation of LEED test takers who still believe it is GS03….so thanks again!
courtesy?

Does the test require one to know the specific VOC content limits (numbers)for EQ credits 4.x? Should I memorize them?

By Gary on Aug 27, 2008

I found that you didn’t need to know the specific voc limits,
but you do need to know what unit of measurements are involved,
what materials with what reference standard, and
what credit they are associated with, and
who is responsible for the submitting, and i would look at the submittal form on line on the USGBC website.

(Same deal for the refrigerant credits.)

let me offer that you have to be very clear in your head in EQ3 what happens during construction, before and after occupancy, yes, know specific voc levels, what tests are required.. flushing etc know which credit is which test….

Valeria,

At first you said “you didn’t need to know the specific voc limits” but later, “yes, know specific voc levels.” I’m confused.

Thanks

By Gary on Aug 28, 2008

I am sorry,
later in my response, I added info about Credit EQ3. I was adding more info than you asked. sorry to confuse you.

I have taken the test and do remember in Credit 3 having to know the VOC limits and what tests to take…and when..etc
thought I would just offer that up.. Credit 4, the one you asked about,I didn’t have to know what materials had what voc limits, but you sure had to know just about everthing else!
does this help?

By valeria on Aug 29, 2008

Valeria,

Thanks. That helps. It is a lot more realistic to memorize the limits in EQ 3 than EQ 4.

Thanks again.
