The MRc2: Construction waste management credit is a regional priority credit in UAE one of the Saudi Arabian country eastern boundary and the Saudi Arabia is not one of the listed countries for regional priority credit in USGBC.
So my concern, if I can pursue LEED V2009 MRc2 in my project (located in Saudi Arabia – Riyadh city) as one of regional priority credits same as UAE.

Dear Engr. Daoud, how are you? Hope you are doing well.
RP credits for Saudi Arabia and UAE are not the same. MRc2 is available as an RP credit for UAE but not for Saudi Arabia. You cannot pursue MRc2 as an RP credit in Saudi Arabia. The available RP credits for Saudi Arabia in BD+C New Construction v2009 are EAc1, EAc3, EAc5, WEc1, WEc2 and WEc3.
You can also log on to LEED online to your specific project and check that these credits have RP point.
Kind Regards,
Saud Abdul Rasheed

Daoud - If your country is not listed in the dropdown menu on the Regional Priority Lookup link - http://www.usgbc.org/rpc/LEED-NC/v2009, you should select Other Countries (at the bottom of the dropdown) to show the Regional Priorities.
