Paula,
Can we assume that if, as you submit above, "published" for HPDs means available on the web somewhere (manufacturer's site, Design Pages, SGJJR HPD Library, etc.), then "published" or "publically available" referring to the Manufacturer's Inventory means the same thing? That would mean that an inventory that is "available upon request" would not qualify. Correct?

Rus, that is my understanding. I will seek clarification from USGBC.

I have received confirmation from Sara Cederberg at USGBC that "available upon request" does not count as "publicly available." I think that should be fairly obvious ... since if it's available upon request, the manufacturer can deny your request. (This has happened to me when I have requested documents for my own edification and not for a project.)
