Our project is pursuing LEED v4 BD+C for Core and Shell and is pursuing the Pilot Credit: Integrative Analysis of Building Materials.

We documented three interior products on a school project in Canada: an acoustic ceiling tile, a PET acoustic wall panel and a solid surface for millwork.

I found the information relatively easy to find with the documentation provided by the product manufacturers - the difficult part is to find the right products that provide all of the documentation

The project team is pursuing this pilot credit after achieving BPDO EPD and HPD credits.

I found the information relatively easy to find with the documentation provided by the product manufacturers.

Has anyone developed an efficient workflow for integrating material analysis early in design without significantly increasing project schedules?

We were at the begining quite overwhelmed with this one. It seemed like a complicated thing to do, since the analysis went really much deeper than any of the other credit required it to.

As most products selected for our project have EPDs, HPDs, and SDSs, it is easy to find the locations of the information for this Pilot Credit.

This pilot credit is a useful way to both qualitatively and quantitatively examine the human health implications, environmental impacts, and safety impacts of building materials.

We have pursued this credit a few times now. It can be a heavy lift at first but once you get the documentation ready and forms completed it is easier on subsequent projects.
