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?

How do you recognize each type of EPD?

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

Hi Soha. Here's what it says in the Reference Guide: "Criterion valuation factor = weighting multiplier for the criterion. This factor will be determined for each certification that becomes available."As I understand it, the Criterion Valuation Factor doesn't apply at all right now. It's there as a placeholder in anticipation of future certifications that might be accepted for this credit. Those certification might be given different valuations in the calculation than the simple 100% that's currently given for showing better-than-benchmark performance in LCA impact categories.I hope this helps! - Nadav
