Yes there low odur paint all big brands do it it's not a lot between them really in odour just make sure u a R a window open for as long as poss if u gloss at the same time as u emulsion the emulsion will help with the smell of gloss so try and get all done in 1 hit. If u r gettin a painter in 2 do the work he can do that unless the room is very big but he will do the ceiling 1st so 1 way or the other u will ave the smell of emulsion 2 help wf the gloss smell hope it help you

Sherman Williams has Aura which is a low VOC paint, read that in consumers reports. I need to have some rooms painted but waiting until the windows can be opened which should help.
