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?

SCS certified EPDs are not yet approved? So this industry-wide EPD would not yet be acceptable for the credit? https://www.scscertified.com/products/cert_pdfs/SCS-EPD-03838_SRI_CFS-Stud-Track_011916_web.pdf?r=1

Erin, I believe it's not necessary for USGBC to explicitly approve any specific framework. If the EPD has third-party verification that it follows the relevant standards referenced in LEED, then it is acceptable. I just took a quick look at the steel EPD, and it seems to adhere to the proper standards.
