ABSTRACT:

Product transparency was first introduced in the 2012 LEED v4 draft with credits for using products where the environmental performance (EPDs) and material health (HPD, Declare, C2C and others) have been disclosed. Product transparency has since gone from early adoption to early mainstream, and now to becoming a specification requirement.
