Paints and Coatings

Here is another note made while preparing for Materials and Methods exam.  This can seem like a very minor thing for architects to study, but obviously any surfaces that are the final finishes that occupants touch and see are extremely important for both design and health safety. Paints are also critical in terms of sustainability.. be aware of LEED IEQ credit 4.2.   Also, maybe it's worth a look for architect's to review the EPA's guide to lead paint.  Finally, on a cool technology note, be aware of Sherwin Williams color matching app for the iphone that matches the color of an iphone photograph to their color catalog.
