Acelab surfaces health and environmental data from Health Product Declarations (HPDs), including VOC content and LEED compliance checks. This article explains which fields to reference when evaluating products for LEED v4.1 low-emitting materials requirements.
Before You Begin
HPD fields are automatically populated from publicly available HPD data. They cannot be manually edited.
Data availability depends on whether a manufacturer has published an HPD. Fields will be empty for products without one.
To check whether a product has an HPD, look for "HPD Health Product Declaration" in the All Certifications field.
The Relevant Fields
VOC Content Material (g/L) Reports the VOC content of the product in its liquid state, measured in grams per liter. This value comes directly from the HPD's Performance Metrics section. You can also view this data as a visual graph on the product's detail page.
LEED Pre-checks Reports the LEED compliance check as provided by the HPD. For LEED v4.1 work, this is your primary reference — it tells you directly whether a product has been pre-checked for LEED compliance, without requiring you to interpret raw VOC values yourself.
💡Think of it this way: VOC Content Material (g/L) is the raw measurement, and LEED Pre-checks is the verdict.
How to Add These Fields to Your Schedule
Open your project and navigate to Schedules. Click Fields in the top bar, then search for VOC Content Material (g/L) and add it to your schedule.
Add a field called LEED Pre-checks schedule.
Optionally, add All Certifications to confirm which products have an HPD on file.
Outcome
Your schedule will display VOC measurements and LEED Pre-check status alongside each product, making it straightforward to identify which products meet LEED v4.1 low-emitting materials criteria at a glance.
