Since EPDs have an expiration date, and though we may have specified a product while it is valid, it may get constructed in the building after it's expiration date. How does LEED look at this situation, and how do we treat it correctly?

Can anyone advise on this expiration question? Thanks.

Until we hear otherwise, for our project(s) we're assuming that the product in question must be purchased and produced within the certification period in order to remain valid. So, if you purchase a product like cubicles, and they are made within the certification window, it would be OK if they happened to be installed after the certification expired. This is the way our v3 projects operated, too, for things like FloorScore and GreenGuard.
