FAQs about MRp1 :

We already do a waste audit every year. Will this audit count for LEED compliance?

I don’t know what my tenants are purchasing, so how do I determine the building’s top five product categories?

EBOM-v4 MRp1:Ongoing purchasing and waste policy

EBOM on Core and Shell (not LEED) building

We are in the process of certifying a Core and Shell building which does not have a previous LEED certification. There is an inquiry regarding tenant engagement and responsibilities, in order to comply with several requirements of the EBOM certification. Should we take in account tenant spaces (this includes office, retail and restaurant spaces) for the development of the policy (prerequisite) as well as their implementation (credits); or may we focus only on building-level purchases?

Thank you for your question. EBOM v4 Materials and Resources Prerequisite 1: Ongoing Purchasing and Waste Policy recommends including purchases by building tenants. This will prepare the project team to achieve MR credit 1: Purchasing - Ongoing which covers the entire building's ongoing consumable. However, if you choose to exclude tenant purchases beyond the 10% gross square foot exemption, the purchases for those tenant spaces must be estimated and assumed non-compliant.

Thank you for your quick answer. Would the "Suplemental Guidance to the MPR" as well as the "Reduced Occupancy Guidance" (both) from version 2009, apply for LEED v4?

Thank you for your question. In short, the answer is No. The MPRs have been updated for v4 and reduced occupancy guidance for v4 is contained in each individual credit. I would suggest reviewing the v4 Reference Guide for specific guidance.
