As a matter of reasoning, these sorts of evaluations are as clear cut as I would like them to be. I hope they improve in the future.

PeterGood webinar on EPD's. More webinars on EPD's, the types and variations on information include would be great. Most firms just don't have the resources to invest in the time it takes to vet and compare EPD information and make informed decisions regarding product selection. I think the desire is there, but more education is needed across the design and construction industry in order for smaller firms to be able to use EPD assessment as a design tool.
CatherineInteresting life materials to take in consideration.
Fernandezpresentation was dry, and seemed read straight from script.
nicholasShining 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 AIBC Core LU + 1 AAA Structured LU + 1 OAA, OAQ, SAA, MAA, AAPEI, NWTAA
