I see where EPEAT is listed as a resource in the LEED guide but where in the guidance does it say that EPEAT-rated electronics comply with the sustainable purchasing criteria? I only see that Energy Star and items replacing conventional gas power qualify...I am paranoid that I have a horribly old version of the EB:O&M guidance and am confused that this site states "This means that a product that has earned any level of EPEAT rating allows you to claim two sustainability criteria and earn double credit under MRc2, for Energy Star and EPEAT."
Thanks

The criteria based on EPEAT compliance is mentioned in the "Implementation" section of the MRc2 Reference Guide Language, but not much detail is given. It is also listed as a qualifying criteria on the MRc2 Credit Form in LEED Online, which is the best indicator of its inclusion in the credit criteria. It is always a good idea to review the LEED Credit Forms early in a certification project, as they are the most reliable summary of the documentation requirements for all prerequisites and credits.
