The most recent version of the v4.1 materials calculator on the EPD and Sourcing of Raw Materials tabs has a column that did not exist in the v4 version called, "GBCI Docverification_ID".
We have a couple v4 projects, in which we would like to substitute v4.1 material credits. In filling out the v4.1 materials calculator, I noticed the aforementioned column. Does anybody know what information is being requested here?

Ward, GBCI is pre-approving documetation from some manufacturers. Its not a ton yet, but if they have been pre-approved, you don't need the backup info, you just need to include the GBCI number. You can find some of the products at https://bettermaterials.gbci.org/about
But be aware, there aren't ton there, and they don't always cover all the attributes a product may qualify for (i.e. they may have a verified EPD, but the HPD isn't and you'll still need to provide it)
