Integrative Analysis of Building Materials Feedback

Hi Amy,

Thank you for sharing your feedback!

This pilot credit is a strong bridge between disclosure and actual analysis, and a useful stepping stone toward the more rigorous material evaluation expected in LEED v5. I was especially glad to read your point about manufacturers preparing data in the worksheet format, because that is a real example of market transformation. Kudos to Sherwin-Williams for taking that extra step. It makes the credit much more practical for project teams, encourages more informed and healthier material selection, and helps move the industry in the right direction.

Do you know of other manufacturers with documentation that presents their product impact analysis in a format similar to the worksheet?

Hello Oluwasina,This is the first time I documented this credit but the manufacturers that had all accessible information are: ASSA ABLOY and ALLEGION. Even though the worksheet was not provided like Sherwin Williams, disclosed EPDs contain most necessary information, and given that the products were of minimal impact such as door exits or emergency exit devices, most section could be filled out as negligible or with minimal ipacts towards health, environment.
