1. When I registered for pilot credit 112 for LEED 2009 ID+C CI in February of 2017, there was no explicit credit documentation requirements that listed the need to obtain scorecards for each product. In fact, in a LEED User post on pc80, dated July 29, 2016, Kristina Bach stated “The only thing that you really need for this particular credit is the official BIFMA certificates showing the appropriate standard and level.” I didn’t even realize I needed the scorecard until I’d completed the Pilot Credit Survey, and it mentioned that requirement in the Survey questions. I think it may be because in V4, the scorecards are required, and the threshold is 25% of the total material cost. In my experience, obtaining scorecards is time-consuming and difficult. For example, I had to go through 5 people to find the right contact at Knoll who could help me. Her system is not set up to generate scorecards, even though all products are certified at the Platinum LEVEL standard. It took a week for her to develop those scorecards specifically for this project.

QUESTION: Is it acceptable to obtain scorecards for 15% of the Total Material Cost of the Project?
2. Obtaining Certificate numbers for products is not straightforward. For example, Bolyu Nexterrra is NSF 140 Platinum certified, but the manufacturer does not give the certificate number. When I went to the NSF website to obtain the certificate number, they did not list Bolyu. When I wrote the information line at NSF, they responded on June 14 as follows:
“I did not find this product in our listings.
If I can be of further assistance, please let me know.
