In looking at all of the different certifications available in the marketplace and trying to determine which of these are right for our company and products, I have begun to wonder if there are any projects that have been successful in acheiving this credit. I could see where a product manufacturer might be hesitant to certify their products if a demand for the certified products is not there. Does anyone have any input on this?

Jason, While I can't speak to whether a building has successfuly received credit for this PC or not, I can tell you that when taken in total, there are thousands and thousands of products certified/verified to comply with the above listed programs. Obviously on this message board we are focused on LEED, but the above programs are called out in numerous building specifications/standards/codes/programs throughout North America. Whether they are a good fit for your company/product is up to your assessment, but I do know that many purchasers/specifiers utilize them in purchasing decisions.

We are currently attempting this credit and have completed the documentation for the construction submittal . We do not yet know if we've received this pilot credit or not, but per our findings, the majority of our materials selected in design met the minimum requirements for this point. Remember you include all non-structural products in divisions 3-10. It seems like the manufacturers are really on-board with this credit so it wasn't too difficult to find the certifications. This credit really is a team effort between the design and construction teams.
