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?

How do you recognize each type of EPD?

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

Hi LEEDuser Experts!

I posted this and a similar question in the MR Credit BPDO - Material Ingredients forum, but it's directly related to EPDs, so it'll be nice to get confirmation here. I want to know if Type III EPDs that reference a broad category of products are acceptable? I'm referring specifically to an EPD for Dow Styrofoam Insulation. Dow produces a number of products (e.g. Perimate, Plazamate, Duramate) that fall under this umbrella but would still be considered separate products. These specific products (Perimate, Plazamate, Duramate) are not mentioned explicitly in the EPD.

Thank you for your guidance!

Hi Adam,  It looks like all those products are actually explicitly mentioned in the EPD, under the 'Applications and Uses' section.  Best, Maggie

Ah, perfect, good catch, Maggie! I'm not sure how I missed that before! In that case, it seems likely that multiple products should be allowed to be submitted under one EPD as long as they're explicitly mentioned. This has been confirmed in practice for HPDs, but I'm wondering if anyone has successfully submitted multiple products under one EPD.
