CI-2009 MRc4: Recycled Content
Hi
our company has moved to a new office and we are submitting for LEED gold. However some of our suppliers gave us material for free such as the mineral board ceiling (as we are a design office and often use these vendors).
How do I calculate this material cost or do I disregard it?
Any suggestions....
Thanks Martin

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

Hi Martin, At first blush I'd say that the salvaged materials approach would apply here, meaning that you should just assign these products a fair market cost. Anyone have any experience suggesting otherwise?
