A very detailed presentation on understanding EPDs, very informative. The section on Comparison could have been in a separate presentation.

JesseThis is an interesting topic and promising new area, but like the presentation itself, gets a little too bogged down in the minutia. And whoever wrote the test was a real stickler... I took detailed notes and still barely passed with a 70%. I think EPDs are valuable and an important step towards holding maufacturers accountable, but I do question how much they'll actually help given the mounds of data involved and the challenge of weighing one category versus another. At a certain point all that data actually confuses matters more than it helps. Like the presenter says though, hopefully the end result will be manufacturers taking steps to improve their numbers, even if architects and specifiers are left scratching their heads about which product is actually the greenest.
HughEPD's are valuable in determining Product selections for building products.

HannaShining Light on EPDs - Comparing the Environmental Performance of Building Products
FREE
Over the past few years, demand for tools like Environmental Product Declarations has been growing among the green building industry. Primarily intended for a specialized audience, life cycle assessments and their results displayed in standardized documents named EPDs are out in the open for everyone to see. However, EPDs are not mere documentation and are very technical. Green Building Programs, such as LEED, requiring EPDs for credit achievement have forced unspecialized professionals to understand it. This course is intended to give you the tools you need to get your head around EPDs and be able to compare them if needed.
Credits: 1 AIA HSW + 1 GBCI (USGBC/CAGBC) + 1 LEED SPECIFIC - BD+C + 1 LEED SPECIFIC - ID+C + 1 AIBD Elective + 1 AIBC Core LU + 1 AAA Structured LU + 1 OAA, OAQ, SAA, MAA, AAPEI, NWTAA
Length: 1 hour
