Hello,
Our EPD's are created based on our manufactured interior wall assemblies. We picked a selected assembly and looked at it as a whole, so numerous materials are captured in the one EPD - aluminum frame, insulation, painted MDF tiles and other minor components. If you were to compare the above to conventional drywall construction, all these components would be handled and managed individually (i.e. drywall is completely separate from paint). Overall, this could allow for more EPD's since they are individual vs. pre-manufactured assemblies.
Is there anyway that our EPD's for a pre-fabricated solution can count as more than 1 to the required 20 EPDs?
Thanks!

Hi Katelyn,
I think that it's unlikely that your EPD will count for more than 1 product, just because it's an assembly, unless the various part of that assembly are also listed with their own EPDs, and sold separately.

Hello Everyone,
Please, I have a question on this subject. We have a "curtain wall" for a project, do I have to have an EPD for the complete curtain wall assembly or the EPD of glazing alone can count in LEED? For example I have AGC glazing wich had an EPD and aluminum profiles from company X which does not have EPD, is this acceptable from a LEED? Your point of view?
