Reporting environmental performance AND/OR material health of products is rapidly becoming a specification requirement for LEED v4 projects. Manufacturers are trying to determine:
There are a range of options for earning these credits. Reporting both gives a comprehensive view of what's in a product & why.
Part 1: Material health information
We'll discuss two ways to achieve the LEED v4 Material Ingredient Disclosure and Optimization credit: a sneak preview of the Health Product Declaration v2, and overview of Clean Production Action's manufacturer inventory 'How To' guide for using GreenScreen.
Part 2: Environmental performance
Life cycle assessment is the science that drives the reporting to achieve the LEED v4 Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) Disclosure and Optimization credit. Traditional EPDs include a lot of technical info which is difficult for non-LCA pros to interpret and use to inform a specification decision.
We'll examine an SM Transparency Report (our brand of EPD) with a Material Health Overview included, designed to make environmental performance and material health information understandable and meaningful, all in one place. Join us for a how-to discussion for manufacturers to create value with product transparency while building a greener brand.
