LEED online Template and calculations

Although I haven't checked that template functionality recently and can't speak to the result you're getting, it is my understanding that USGBC does intend to increase the sustainability weighted value of an item as its PCR (for example) increases. So an item with 20% PCR would be worth twice as much as the same item with 10% PCR. In EBv2.0 this was not the case, but for LEEDv3 I believe this has been made more consistent across all rating systems. I think there is sound logic to it, although it does add complexity relative to the old yes/no system.

Frankly, I think it may not be in the EBOM Reference Guide, although the NC Reference Guide may address this more clearly. My understanding is that the logic is consistent with the idea that a product achieving more than one criteria should count twice - every unit of improved sustainability performance should benefit your project. It's a sensible evolution for the credit I think.
