FAQs about MRc5 :

What if a food item is produced nearby (say at a processing plant) but the ingredients aren’t sourced locally. Does that count towards the 100-mile regional criteria?

Can our project earn this credit with just a one-time purchase of food for an event in the building?

We have several tenants in our building. Do we have to track food purchases from all of them? What if they won't give us their purchasing data?

Do we have to include food and beverages that are purchased for our vending machines?

Hi Gabriel, does Ecocert show up in LEED v4 at all? If it's an approved standard under v4 then you have some ammunition for asking GBCI to accept it for a v2009 project. Otherwise you might want to get confirmation from USGBC/GBCI before you consider it compliant, as it's unlikely that they can accept a standard that's not explicitly listed in the rating system language.
