FAQs about MRc2 :

If a company provides an EPD but it does not mention on it that it meets the ISO standards required, can we still submit it for LEED or do we need to have that verification?

Where can I find a list of products with EPDs?

Do I have to submit the full EPD with my documentation for Option 1?

If I include a product in the BPDO EPDs credit, do I also have to include it in the BPDO Material Ingredients credit?

If I include a product with an EPD in Option 1, do I have to also include it in the scope of products that are part of the Option 2 calculation?

For the twenty products with EPDs, can I count multiple products from the same manufacturer?

How do you recognize each type of EPD?

Not enough finishes to meet credit.

Hi,

I have a small building with less than 20 finishes. I presume this means the credit cannot be met?

 

Thanks,

Max

That would be my assumption. However, I would clarify that it's 20 materials - not specifically finishes. If you were limiting your scope prematurely by only looking at finishes, you might be able to still get to the 20 materials mark once you expand your pool to anything normally in Divisions 3-10 (steel studs, drywall, insulation, paints, etc.). Door hardware (often overlooked for LEED) can be a good place to start as each component is a separate material and so you can sometimes get 5 materials from a single door (latch, lock, hinge, kick-plate, closer, etc.).
