While working on a 12,000 ft² (1,114.8 m²) medical building, a LEED AP asks the flooring manufacturer to submit the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for the flooring specified. The manufacturer doesn't have an EPD for their products, but all products meet ISO 14040/44 for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). They ask if it would be acceptable to send the ISO 14040/44 LCA information in lieu of an EPD. How do you respond?

• A.Contact another manufacturer that has a comparable product with an EPD
• B.Exclude the flooring from the LEED credit as non-compliant
• C.Request recycled content information, as the ISO 14040/44 LCA is not sufficient for compliance
• D.Use the ISO 14040/44 LCA information just like an EPD to complete the documentation for the LEED credit
