LEED v4 Credit
A flexible tool for achieving LEED v4 credit
Use of Health Product Declarations (HPDs) is one of the most common and easy ways of gathering documentation for compliance with LEED v4 MRc: Building Product Disclosure and Optimization: Material Ingredients. HPDs also contribute to the same credit in LEED v4.1.
HPDs published in the HPD Public Repository under any version can contribute: HPD 1.0, 2.0, 2.1, 2.1.1, and the most recently released version, 2.2. Guidance for applying the LEED requirements to each HPD version is available below in both visual and text formats.
HPDs published under version 2.1 and later offer a LEED Pre-Check Indicator to pre-screen HPDs that meet LEED requirements. HPDs passing this Pre-Check can be found using the search filters in the HPD Public Repository. (The LEED Pre-Check has not yet been updated for LEED v4.1.)
LEED project teams, as well as manufacturers, may also want to review the following:
- The HPD User Guide, along with other Resources offered by HPDC, provides background to make full use of the data offered by HPDs.
- More information on the LEED Pre-Check
- What if an HPD does not meet LEED requirements?
- What GreenScreen scores are allowed in Material Ingredients Option 2? (updated)
- Which HPDs qualify for LEED v4.1?
NOTE: The various guidance documents are provided below in the interest of being thorough. However, the fundamental guidance is consistent across all version 2 HPDs. Once you are familiar with the key requirements, it is not difficult to apply them to all HPD versions.
