FAQs about MRc4 :

Is the default average recycled content value of 25% for steel still allowed?

Can site materials, such as soil, be included in the MR credit calculations?

Are there recycled content claims that I should be wary of?

Can I count FSC-certified MDF toward both MRc4 and MRc7?

If I have one cut sheet that meets the LEED 2009 requirement to upload 20% of cut sheets by cost, for this credit, is that acceptable?

I have recycled content information for a product, but it doesn’t specify whether it is pre-consumer or post-consumer. What should I do?

The recycled content percentage on the product data sheet is given as a range. What should I do?

The manufacturer can't give me product-specific recycled content data, but they say that they fall within the national industry average. Can I use that?

Erika - You answered your own question - since plumbing fixtures are not specified in the Divisions outlined for the MR credits (Divisions 03-10 and the required sections in 31 and 32), they are NOT included in the calculations. In addition, the credit requirements specifically say: "Mechanical, electrical and plumbing components, and specialty items such as elevators and equipment cannot be included in all calculations."
