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?

Clarifying 20 different materials from 5 different manufacturers

As I interpret the language of this credit, can I assume that I can submit say, three different types of ceiling tile from one manufacturer, and this would count as three different materials?

Hi, Cynthia! I'm not sure it's that simple. Have you read the intro to the MR section in the reference guide? There is a section about how a product is defined. Here's their (admittedly vague) guidance on what is a separate product:Similar products from the same manufacturer with distinct formulations versus similar products from the same manufacturer with aesthetic variations or reconfigurations:
· Paints of different gloss levels are separate products because each paint type is specified to serve a different function, such as water resistance. Different colors of the same paint are not separate products because they serve the same function.
· Carpets of different pile heights are separate products because they are used for different kinds of foot traffic. The same carpet in a different color is not a separate product.
