While use of low-VOC materials for LEED credit is restricted to interior paints in the current LEED Scoring system, it may be possible to achieve credit for use of low-VOC materials under the Innovation in Design category. 

Liquid Paint Finishes (Exterior – PVDF/Kynar/Hylar).   Factory-applied paints that contain VOC’s (e.g. PVDF/Kynar/Hylar such as Flurocryl, Duranar, and Trinar) can be applied using specialized equipment that captures and destroys VOC’s in the painting process, with 95%+ efficiency.  Destroying the VOC's and not emitting them into the atmosphere prevents pollution and ozone depletion.  Such equipment is utilized by Linetec and other environmentally-conscious  finishers, and documentation can be provided to the design professional evidencing use of such equipment when painting a project.

Powder Paint Finishes (Exterior).  This option provides a VOC-free  coating.  However, in Linetec’s opinion, there is not clear test or field evidence that the new high-performance fluoropolymer powder coatings achieve weatherability results equal to that of liquid PVDF/Kynar/Hylar. 

Anodize Finishes (Exterior).  This option provides a VOC-free coating.
