How many permanently installed products would this count toward MR Credit Building Product Disclosure and Optimization - EPDs?

C: 4

参考答案: A

本题解释:
Notes: It\'s necessary to know first what constitutes a product in LEED as it applies to these credits.
A product is defined by serving the distinct function. This includes the physical components and services needed to serve the intended function of the permanently installed building product. Similar products from the same manufacturer can be counted as separate products if they have distinct formulations, but not if there are aesthetic variations or reconfigurations.
In this question there are four distinct products from two different manufacturers.
A product-specific declaration, which is made by a manufacturer but is a self-declaration, is valued at 1/4 of a product.
An industry-wide ISO-compliant generic EPD is valued as 1/2 of a product.
A product-specific Type 3 EPD is valued as 1 product.
The item stem mentions four products, all of which have generic EPDs, so each counts as 1/2 of a product, or two total products.
