FAQs about MRc1.1 :

What building elements get included in this calculation and what can be excluded?

Should I base my calculations on plan or elevation?

How do you calculate the existing building structure reuse?

How do exterior elements, such as a covered dock, get counted? Would that be considered a slab or exterior hardscape and not part of the building?

I understand the floor slab of basements is allowed to be included; what about the envelope? I would think they should be allowable, as they provide a physical barrier to the elements, but I'm looking for a second opinion. Thanks.

Hi Stacey, Yes all existing envelop materials are to be included. See FAQ above.
