How does the USGBC evaluate EPD expiration dates for projects with long construction periods.NC-v4 MRc2: Building product disclosure and optimization - environmental product declarationsposted by James Howarth on Jun 25, 2019, 2:54 pmI haven't seen a clear and definitive answer on this for NC-v4 MRc2, but LEED v4 does have 'not expired' requirements for EPDs in other sections (see here "Europe ACP: Option 4 Whole Building Life-Cycle Assessment" https://www.usgbc.org/credits/new-construction-schools-new-construction-retail-new-construction-data-centers-new-construct) There is also at least one person going under the presumption that the EPD has to be valid when it is purchased and produced (https://leeduser.buildinggreen.com/forum/epd-expiration-date), but not necessarily when its installed.
