FAQs about MRc2 :

If a company provides an EPD but it does not mention on it that it meets the ISO standards required, can we still submit it for LEED or do we need to have that verification?

How do you recognize each type of EPD?

Hi, what are the LEED v4.1 credit substitution documents that need to be uploaded? Just the 4.1 BPDO calculator?

Make sure you click the blue circle icon, which is located on the right side of the Credits tab in LEED Online.  I would also pull a copy of the v4.1 Sample form, which you can find a link to on the right side of the LEED Online home page (where all your projects are listed, about halfway down).

Thank you! I'm pretty sure clicking the blue button is what brought up the requirement to upload the substitution documents. Didn't think of the sample form - will do. Thanks again!

Lisa, Batya Metalitz wrote this informative explanantion last year: https://www.usgbc.org/articles/substitute-any-leed-v4-credit-leed-v41. I also found this guidance from the CaGBC helpful with links to the v4.1 calculators (including the 4.1 BDPO), depending on which credits which decide to substitute:  https://www.cagbc.org/CAGBC/Programs/LEED/LEEDv4/LEED_v4_Zone.aspx Good luck, and I hope this helps you like it did me.

I cannot find a blue circle icon? Maybe I am looking in the wrong spot? Please advise - thanks!

Katie, the circle doesn't turn blue until you click it. It is a little grey up and down arrow icon - here's a quick screencast of where to go. https://share.getcloudapp.com/7KuoRLNK

You also need the v4.1 Sample form for any credit you substitute. Found on the projects home page of LOL on the right sidebar.

Thank you Tommy for sharing however there are not any gray buttons either... just blank? How can I send you a snap shot of it thru this forum?

Some of the older projects don't have the gray buttons. You just need to upload the v4.1 documents and forms. You could put a note in special circumstances that you are following v4.1
