I don't know for certain, but I suspect it's going to be very difficult to demonstrate this in the near future. There are very few products that have both an industry-wide EPD and product-specific ones—almost certainly not enough to compare for a high percentage of cost, especially since no more than 30% can come from structure & envelope.
