FAQs about MRc5 :

Why can’t I include mechanical, electrical and plumbing components in this credit? What if I consistently include MEP materials in the calculations for all of the MR credits I’m attempting?

We are pursuing IEQc4.5 as an ID credit. Are we thus required to include the cost of furniture in MRc3–7?

What if different parts of a product are manufactured at different locations?

What is the purpose of the newly added Option 2? Can I pursue both options?

How do we account for materials using the new Option 2 equation?

With steel and aluminum products, why do I often get review comments questioning why my extraction distance is the same as my manufacture distance?

NC-2009 MRc5:Regional Materials

I´m studying for the AP test and have a question. If I´m working on a major renovation project and reuse the bricks from a fireplace to create a sidewalk, can I account this as material reuse AND Regional material? I remember reading somewhere that for regional material you can only count materials acquired off-site, but taking online exames this question came up and got me really confused about it. Appreciate any help. Thanks
