How do you know how many regional materials you need to incorporate into your project? Look at the baseline material budget. Determine how much you want to spend on regional materials. Regionally manufactured materials purchases equal to 20% of the budget cost will give a project one point, and 10% manufactured and extracted regionally will give the project two points. Go through the project’s preliminary budget and identify what items are manufactured and harvested/extracted locally. Do these items add up to the amount needed to get one or two points?
