I'm having a hard time understanding why it is necessary to document cost, weight and "percentage of product contributing to this criterion", if the requirements are simply to use 20 different products with EPDs? We registered for this pilot (MRpc52) when the intent was:
"To increase the use of products and materials with life cycles, ingredients, and attributes that improve overall environmental, economic and social performance," and the requirements were "Use at least 20 different permanently installed products sourced from at least five different manufacturers that meet one of the disclosure criteria below." The latter is still listed under credit language; however, the Bird's Eye View doesn't mention EPDs, and the data in the table doesn't come from a EN15804 EPD, or a 14025 either.
Help!? Thanks!
Be grateful if someone can clarify!

I've achieved this pilot credit on several LEED projects. The credit language requires 20 different products (e.g. quantity), but the pilot credit description recommends providing cost information. I typically do not include cost information and the LEED Review Teams have not requested additional documentation. I've included my experience for information only. Please note your LEED Review Team may interpret the credit requirements differently. Hope this helps!
