FAQs about MRc4 :

The credit language says “Products meeting recycled content criteria are valued at 100% of their cost for the purposes of credit achievement calculation.” How much recycled content has to be in a product for 100% of its cost to count toward credit achieve

Is there any way around the requirement that no more than 30% of the materials used to meet Option 2 be structure and enclosure items?

If Sustainable Agricultural Network (SAN) certification isn’t required for agricultural products to comply with Option 2, does the manufacturer still have to provide documentation of third-party verification?

For the manufacturer “take-back” pathway under Option 2, does the extended producer responsibility program have to be run by the manufacturer?

Are there other ways the products can contribute to Option 1?

Can Corporate Sustainability Reports from the manufacturers of the products I’ve selected help me achieve the Option 1 point for “raw material source and extraction reporting?”

Furniture reuse

Hello - I'm working on a TI project and the client is reusing over half their furniture. I know I include this in the calculator, but do I use the value of the furniture when it was purchased? Is there a deduction of some portion of the value? Or is there some other way to get credit for furniture reuse? Thanks so much!

Material reuse considerations are found within the LEED CI Reference Guide for this credit under Further Explanation. In summary, "The cost of reused or reclaimed materials is either the actual cost paid (original purchase) or the replacement value, whichever is higher. The replacement value can be determined by pricing a comparable material in the local market; exclude labor and shipping."
