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?

Where can I find a list of products with EPDs?

Do I have to submit the full EPD with my documentation for Option 1?

If I include a product in the BPDO EPDs credit, do I also have to include it in the BPDO Material Ingredients credit?

If I include a product with an EPD in Option 1, do I have to also include it in the scope of products that are part of the Option 2 calculation?

For the twenty products with EPDs, can I count multiple products from the same manufacturer?

How do you recognize each type of EPD?

NC-v4 MRc2:Building product disclosure and optimization - environmental product declarations

Building Product Disclosure and Optimization required documentation

Do I need to submit the purchase invoice or any other documentation confirming product acquisition when applying for Building Product Disclosure and Optimization credits on LEED Online? If not required upfront, could the GBCI Review Team request this documentation at a later stage in the certification process? I find myself accumulating over a thousand invoices and questioning if its really necessary.

Hi Marcelo - You do not need to submit proof of purchase for documenting EPDs and Material Ingredients credits. There is some inconsistency in how GBCI sees the expiration dates for these documents so you may get pushback from reviewers if the documents provided are expired, but I've never had to prove a purchase date. For Sourcing of Raw Materials, you do need invoices for any FSC wood contributions to demonstrate chain of custody.

Thank you very much for your response, Michelle! This will greatly help and simplify the organization of documentation for submitting my projects, as I no longer need to accumulate hundreds of invoices and other proof of purchase for sustainable materials.

Good morning Michelle Bombeck, how are you? Recently, a client asked me a question on this topic to which I didn't know how to respond at the time, so I reflected on this issue again. If we don't have to submit any invoice or proof of purchase document in LEED Online for Building Product & Disclosure Optimization credits, how do we prove to GBCI that we purchased and incorporated that specific product for which we are submitting the sustainability certificate (EPD, HPD, etc.)? Does the Review Team trust Project Teams to such an extent that they do not require any documentation proving the acquisition of materials with sustainability certifications? Thank you in advance for your attention, and I look forward to your response!
