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?

Uploading EPDs to LEED Online

Hello, it's my first time uploading this credit to LEED Online. Does anyone know if it is acceptable to upload a zip folder containing all the EPD PDFs (30+ in total)? I have the files all nicely named by division and product, so it would be easy to navigate once the folder is opened up. How do you normally upload?

This question also applies MR BPDO-Sourcing of Raw Materials, EQ Low-Emitting Materials, etc. Anything with extensive documentation.

Zip files are great! Especially with the naming protocols - you should be good to go.

Yes, I'm a reviewer. Zip files are great, and reviewers truly appreciate great labeling of all those docs!

Hi, the file uploads must be no longer than 100MB. However, the size of my file (zip file) is bigger than that. Is it acceptable to upload a narrative including the link to download the files instead of the actual EPD supporting documents? I am having the same issue for "Project Information" as well. I cannot upload the drawings and project photos as the zip file is much larger than 100MB. It would be only possible to share the files with the reviewers via a downloadable link.   Thank you in advance!

Hi Irene, You can upload as many files as you like as long as each of them isn't larger than 100 Mb.

Yes, zip file is acceptable by LEED, as well as PDF, XLSX, XLS, DOCX, DOC, TXT, JPG, GIF, and BMP file types are preferred by LEED for supporting documentation, as explained in following link:
https://support.usgbc.org/hc/en-us/articles/4404465499155-LEED-Online-forms-and-uploads#upload
About the link download for documentation, not sure whether it is acceptable by LEED reviewer or not. From the same link above, there is helpful tips on uploading a file that is over 100 MB:
• Break out the particular page or segment that full fills the targeted LEED upload requirement and save it as a separate file to upload.
• If it is a picture file, save the file with a lower resolution in order to reduce the file size. Compress the document into a zip file.
• For site plans and floor plans, only include the necessary layers and save as a PDF.
