Is the indoor air quality affected when Valspar coatings are used and how does this impact LEED credit: 4 for low emitting materials credit?
The intent of LEED is to reduce heat islands to minimize impact on microclimate and human wildlife habitat. Using roofing materials with Valspar SR coatings having a Solar Reflectance Index equal to or greater than 78 for low-sloped roof or 29 for steep sloped roofs can help contribute to 1 LEED point. See Valspar LEED for NC V.2. document for more details.
