During the design phase documentation submission, the Materials and Resources (MR) Credit: Building Product Disclosure and Optimization - Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) is reviewed. This credit encourages project teams to select products from manufacturers who provide transparency about their products' environmental impacts. EPDs are often part of the design documentation, as they influence material selection and project sustainability goals. Other PBT source reduction credits or raw material sourcing credits are typically more relevant in later phases, as they may involve construction processes and materials procurement rather than initial design specifications.

I’m a bit confused about the PBT credits. I thought they were more related to the construction phase rather than design.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I know the Materials and Resources section covers a lot of different credits, but I'm not sure which one is reviewed during the design phase. I'll need to double-check my notes.

I've got this! The answer is clearly option B, PBT Source Reduction - Mercury. That's the only one that specifically mentions a Materials and Resources credit.
