What exactly qualifies as an item or material salvaged onsite?

We have multiple tenants in our building, some of which are not responsive to requests for purchasing records. Can we exclude their purchases?

Can I use the LEED-NC default of 25% recycled content for steel in our furniture purchases?

Hi Michelle, I agree this is a tough one and it's not totally clear if bike racks are considered a durable good. I recommend including the purchase in your calculations and letting GBCI decide if it qualifies or not. But, since it's not 100% guaranteed that racks will count, you should probably submit the credit with enough compliant purchases to meet the MRc2 threshold in case GBCI ends up asking you to remove that purchase from the calculations.
