Hi, Was wondering if someone has insight to this:
I have been providing LEED information for our finished Visual Display items that our company manufactures. I address the Recycled contents, Regional Materials, New wood...etc. through formulation in a spreadsheet, and print the combined results for the finished products.
Recently I've been asked for a breakout of each component within the build of each finished product (which would make a very busy reporting sheet). Are there cases where this is required? - thanks.

Bobby, I'm not sure I understand your question. Do you mean you're asked for this information for each part of the product?
This does seem overly detailed to me, and not specifically required, but I could imagine reasons that individual LEED project teams might want it. Have they explained why?

Did you provide recycled content information?
My only thought would be they were trying to reconcile percentage amounts and overall material costs if you didn’t break it out

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I've received a few forms that want the make-up components along with their relative percentages rather that the complete assembly as a whole.
Our selling prices aren't what the end user pays - we sell to a contractor who re-sells as part of his job bid to the end-user. Since I break out the pre- post- consumer, wood ... etc. percentages for the finished product, I think this would work for the end-users calculations as it applies to their costs. However these requests make me wonder if I'm missing something here. - thanks again.
