Mindful Specifications: Using HPDs For LEED v4.1 Projects
Elixir Environmental works with building product manufacturers to develop transparency documentation for material ingredient reporting, including Health Product Declarations (HPD). HPDs help contribute points under LEED v4. Product declarations offer your customers an unsurpassed level of transparency, can validate claims of your product's contents, and increase the chances of your building product getting specified.
In this course, we explore how Health Product Declarations (HPDs) contribute to the LEED v4.1 rating system. Our team discusses how design professionals can achieve the LEED v4.1 BD+C and ID+C Material Ingredients credit. In addition, we review the HPD Open Standard and discuss how it can influence design professionals to make healthier material selections for buildings.
