NEW USER REGISTRATION
- All new users should visit the Emerald Eco-Label EPD software website and create a user profile. The Emerald Eco-Label software uses single sign-on (SSO) to connect via NAPA login credentials. New users should set up a username and password on the NAPA website. You can either do this before creating a user profile on the Emerald Eco-Label website, or during the process of creating a user profile on the Emerald Eco-Label website. You do not have to be a NAPA member to establish a username and password.
- Watch the appropriate training webinars based on your software needs and pass the associated quizzes to participate in the industry average benchmarking initiative.
GETTING STARTED WITH THE EPD GENERATOR SOFTWARE
Your company will need to designate a primary/technical contact. This person is responsible for ensuring and affirming that all people assigned roles to enter data in the software are properly trained and understand the software. To ensure credibility and accuracy of generated EPDs, the primary/technical contact is required to view two training webinars on the Emerald Eco-Label EPD tool and pass a test before being granted access to the software tool.
- Log in to the Emerald Eco-Label website and create an Organization. If someone in your company has already created an Organization, you will be prompted to request access to the existing Organization.
- Create your asphalt plant(s).
- Compile the data needed for your plant(s) and mix designs using the Data Gathering Spreadsheet. Use this spreadsheet to streamline the data entry process by putting all your information in one place.
- Purchase access for any plants you'd like to develop plant-specific, product-specific EPDs. Your NAPA membership status is automatically determined based on your NAPA login credentials.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE IN THE INDUSTRY AVERAGE INITIATIVE
Data collection for the Industry Average benchmarking initiative closed on April 1, 2024. We will inform users when the next data collection period opens.
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) provides more than $4 billion to federal, state, and local agencies to pay for the differential cost or an incentive for the use of construction materials and products that have substantially lower levels of embodied carbon emissions as compared to estimated industry averages. Through this initiative, we will develop industry averages that can be used for projects funded by the IRA.

Industry Average Training Webinar - This training video and the associated quiz are required for all users who want to participate in the industry average benchmarking initiative. Additional training videos are required only for users who plan to develop plant-specific, product-specific EPDs under a paid subscription (see below for more information).
