It is my understanding from the credit language that you can combine multipliers from the Certification pathway and the EPD pathway which is what we would like to do for our project. Has anyone had any experience with this?

Pilot Credit 43 was closed on March 1st with the launch of the 3rd comment period of LEED 2012. The EPD pathway is now available in Pilot Credit 61: Material Disclosure and Assessment.

Regarding 43, it is my understanding that you can combine attributes from both pathways for a single product, e.g. Interface carpet has NSF 140 - a Type I Environmental Label, and a 3rd Party Certified Type III EPD Product Specific. So the value of carpet contributes 100% from the certification pathway and 200% for the EPD pathway for a total of 300% of the dollar value contributing to the credit calculation.
