Hi. As we are finalizing our last credits for approval of a project, a couple of question have come up in regards to this Pilot credit, option 1, EPD. We have a total of 25 EPDs (weighted) as prescribed. Should the actual EPD's not be uploaded to LEEDonline? And also - cost is mentioned may times in the calculator, but this was never part of the actual option 1. So de we just leave the cost out of the calculation? Hope someone can guide me in the right direction. Best regards, Lise

We successfully achieved this pilot credit on a project without issue. We uploaded a copy of our EPD Product Tracker (showing which EPDs were Industry/Generic and which were Product/Specific as well the weighted compliance calculation). We also uploaded a zip file of all of the EPDs for those products. We left cost out of the calculation (as it does not apply to the requirements of the actual pilot credit). Essentially our answers to most of the additional questions were all "this is not applicable."
