Under CALGreen, interior nonflat architectural coatings applied inside a building generally must not exceed which volatile organic compound (VOC) limit?
a.50 grams per liter
b.100 grams per liter
c.250 grams per liter
d.400 grams per liter
Explanation
Nonflat coatings have a higher allowance than flat paints; the common CALGreen limit for nonflat interior coatings is 100 grams per liter. 50 grams per liter is the flat-paint limit, and 250 or 400 grams per liter exceed the low-VOC requirements for interior architectural coatings.
