Our project may be able to obtain this credit, but it might come down to the last half value for an industry EPD. My question to the knowledge pool is;
May I count both an industry and a product specific EPD?
Initial thoughts are that the product specific supersedes the industry wide EPD but I am left wondering if anyone has had success submitting both in the past? A specific example I have is for an insulated metal panel, I have both the industry and product specific EPDs.
Thanks!

Leanne, that is not addressed specifically anywhere that I know of, but I seriously doubt you can count them both toward Option 1.
The application where you could use both would be in Option 2, where the goal is to compare the actual embodied impacts against a baseline and choose better products based on that.
