Hi All,
According to LEED BD+C_V4 “EPD type III (specific product) it counts as one single product.”.
If we have an EPD type III, of several similar products, of diferente brands, and if the project incorporate products of same brand but with diferent references, can I count each reference as one diferent product with EPD or should I count only one product for each brand included in EPD?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Ricardo,
I'm afraid I wasn't able to follow your question. What do you mean by "different references"?
If you use multiple products from the same brand you can count them as separate products as long as they are different in function, not just appearance.

Thanks Nadav,
If we have an EPD type III, of several similar products, of same brand, and if the project incorporate the 3 products, can I count each product as one diferent product with EPD?
It is importante to refer that the 3 products have diferente functions, as follows (for instance):
Knauf Wallboard type A: applied in general walls covering
Knauf Wallboard impregnated Placa Hidrofugada: applied in walls covering of wet zones
Knauf fire-resistant board type DF: applied in walls covering with insulation to fire needs
Thanks in advance,

Yes, you can count them as three separate products, even if they're covered by the same EPD. The products should be listed and described on the EPD, so it should be clear that they are for different applications--you shouldn't have to do any extra explaining about that in your LEED application.
