We are in our process of gathering and submitting our papers for LEED requirements but we our having a trouble regarding the EPD since none of our suppliers have a certification on hand.

Any advice? Thanks

If your suppliers don't have EPDs for their products I don't see how you can pursue this credit, I'm sorry to say.

FAQs about MRc2:

For the twenty products with EPDs, can I count multiple products from the same manufacturer?

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?

If I include a product in the BPDO EPDs credit, do I also have to include it in the BPDO Material Ingredients credit?

Do I have to submit the full EPD with my documentation for Option 1?

Where can I find a list of products with EPDs?

How do you recognize each type of EPD?

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?
