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?

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

How do you recognize each type of EPD?

Our project will be supplied bricks from Austria and potentially rebar from Turkey or Bosnia and Herzegovina. Both the bricks and the rebar have EN15804/ISO14025 Type III verified EPDs, but they written in the language of the country of the products' origin (Turkish/Bosnian/Serbian and German). We do not have the resources to translate these documents. Will GBCI accept these verified EPDs as 2 of the 20 we need to earn the first point for this credit or should projects in Europe simply forget about earning credits with evidence in multiple languages?

Hi Ward,   I have sent documents in languages other than english to USGBC before without translating them entirely and they have been accepted. You have to make sure to highlight and translate the relevant passages.   Samuel
