FAQs about MRc1 :

For Whole-Building LCA, how do you choose the baseline building?

Is it possible to pursue the Whole-Building Life-Cycle Assessment option late in design?

What is the difference between LCA and LCCA? Our clients often ask for LCA when they really want Life-Cycle Cost Analysis.

My project is a historic building, but there’s no local historic registry. Am I still eligible for Option 1?

How do I account for additional life-cycle impact reductions if my building is designed to last for more than 60 years?

How does the LCA consider operating energy? Isn’t that going to be the biggest source of environmental impacts?

Innovation point for NCv3?

Any idea if this credit could be followed for an innovation point under v3? We are reusing an historic church, with an addition. We don't qualify for MRc1 under v3 because the addition is too large compared to the exisiting, and adding the "waste avoided" to the construction waste calcs under MRc2 really isn't even a drop in the bucket. (I will post this under MRc1 v3 as well.)

I believe this is possible, yes. Best to check directly, however.
