What is the minimum number of products required for the disclosure option of the MR credits?

10 products
15 products
20 products
25 products

The correct answer is: 20 products

The minimum number of products required for the disclosure option of the Materials and Resources (MR) credits is indeed 20 products. This criterion is established to ensure that a building project demonstrates a substantial commitment to sourcing and using materials that have been responsibly produced and disclosed regarding their life cycle impacts and sourcing. By requiring a minimum of 20 products, the intent is to promote greater transparency within the supply chain and encourage manufacturers to provide detailed documentation on their materials. This aligns with the overall goals of LEED, which include reducing the environmental impact of materials and promoting sustainable practices across the building sector. The focus on a significant number of products also helps to amplify the positive effects on market demand for transparency and accountability in material sourcing. This requirement serves as a benchmark that not only supports sustainability efforts but encourages broader adoption of responsible practices in the building industry.
