Hi Christopher,
The rules say that you're NOT allowed to use the LEED 2009 guidelines for which materials to include/exclude in an NC 2.2 project. To be safe you should just include the MF 2004 sections that correspond to the allowed MF 95 sections.
If you want to push this boundary you could submit a CIR or just include all the allow LEED 2009 sections and see how they review it, but I wouldn't count on that getting approved.
You rely on LEEDuser. Can we rely on you?

So is Division 33 Utilities (manholes and water, SS and SD utilities) included in NC 2.2 material cost calculations?

What about the inverse perspective? LEED Canada NC 1.0 (2004) references Divisions 2-10 for MR5. CSI 2004 Div 2 included aggregate, curb/walk concrete, asphalt, soil, plants. In CSI 2011 they are now spread through Div 31 and 32. As there is no Addenda for LEED Canada NC 1.0 MR5, can I exclude these items in my project?

Lindsay, I am not sure of what LEED Canada's policy on this would be.

Greetings LEEDuser folk,
I have a related question I would like to put forth:
I'm working on two LEED project which are under construction. One is LEED NC 2009 and the other is LEED-Schools 2009. My understanding in defining the total material costs of each is that I am to be looking at CSI MasterFormat 2004 Divisions 3-10 and 31.60.00 Foundation, 32.10.00 Paving, 32.30.00 Site Improvements and lastly 32.90.00 Planting. My problem is that for both projects the architects have utilized MasterFormat 1995 and not 2004. So, which divisions from the 1995 version relate to those noted in the 2004 version?
For example, the spec book for one of the projects has the following listed uncer Division 2 - Site Work: 02300 Earthwork, 02361 Termite Control, 02466 Auger-Cast Piles, 02495 Erosion and Sediment Control, 02510 Water Distribution, 02530 Sanitary Sewage, 02620 Subdrainage, 02630 Storm Drainage, 02741 Hot-Mix Asphalt, 02751 Cement Concrete Pavement, 02764 Pavement Joint Sealants, 02821 Chain-Link Fences and Gates, 02920 Lawns and Grasses, and finally 02930 Landscape Plants. How do I relate those back to MasterFormat 2004 divisions 31.60.00 Foundation, 32.10.00 Paving, 32.30.00 Site Improvements and lastly 32.90.00 Planting?
Any assistance would be much appreciated. Thanks - Tim

Hi Tim,I happen to have a handy cross-reference table that CSI put out when they first introduced MF04 back in, yes, 2004. Here's what that has to say for the relevant sections:31 60 00 is "Special Foundations and Load-Bearing Elements", corresponding to nearly everything in MF95 02450-0249032 10 00 is "Bases, Ballasts, and Paving", corresponding to MF95 sections 02700-02790 & 02335 (subgrade work)32 30 00, "Site improvements" covers fences and barriers. Corresponding MF95 sections are 02820-02830 and 02850-02860.32 90 00, "Plantings": 02905, 02910, 02920, 02930, 02945, and 12810 (interior plants)
