Good afternoon,
When entering the materials in the EC3 recognized program for this pilot credit, I am not finding some categories of materials, especially, aggregates, ceramics and stones (either for flooring or cladding). I wonder if I should enter them anyway and leave them as unmapped in the report alluding that these categories and corresponding EPDs are missing (which do exist in the market but not in the tool) or should I not enter them since they will not count in the final result anyway. They are not structural elements in my case, only some small parts of cladding and exterior subbase.
Will the program consider introducing these categories in the short term?
Thank you in advance for your answers.
Yes, you can add other materials that are not listed by LEED, but please provide evidence for the mECIb. As stated on LEED v4 language that "… for other material, it may be included at the discretion of the project team."
