BIFMA e3 / level - It’s not clear why Social Health & Equity is not included here.  BIFMA level includes three prerequisites for Social Impacts: 8.1.1 Employee Health and Safety Management, 8.1.2 Labor and Human Rights, and 8.1.3 Community Outreach and Engagement.  

Living Product Challenge - It’s not clear why Ecosystem Health, Social Health & Equity and Circular Economy are not included here.  Living Product Challenge has three certification options: Living Product Imperative Certification, Living Product Petal Certification, and Living Product Full Certification.  Please specify which certification is applicable here.  

Living Product Challenge MHI - The reference guide does not explain what MHI stands for. Recommend aligning with the Living Product Challenge language.  Is this Living Product Challenge Red List Free?  Or is this Living Product Challenge Full Certification?   

Industrywide EPD - It’s not clear why Ecosystem Health is not included here.  When applicable, EPD’s report on water quality impacts / pollution via eutrophication & acidification. 

Product-Specific EPD - It’s not clear why Ecosystem Health is not included here.  When applicable, EPD’s report on water quality impacts / pollution via eutrophication & acidification. 

Green Seal Certification - Why is Green Seal Certification worth 1.5 points?  Is it because this is a standard and not a transparency disclosure?  In addition, is this referencing all GS standards?  More specificity is needed.  

Declare - what about Declare Red List Free?  We recommend including Declare Red List Free as well, and with high markings.  

ERP should be spelled out as “Extended Producer Responsibility” 

How are Recycled Content and Biobased materials weighted?  If a material has 5% or more recycled content, can 5 points be claimed for the Circular Economy category?  Clarity is needed here.

However, in LEED v5, there seems to have been a shift to only consider nonstructural building products in the optimization process. Why have structural building products been excluded from the optimization process?
