FAQs about MRc3 :

Can I include reused furniture?

A material being reused contains recycled content. Can I count this under MRc3 and MRc4?

We are reusing a lot of equipment from another building. Can we count that?

We are demolishing an existing building, crushing the concrete and stone, and using it as fill onsite. Does this count under MRc3?

Our project has access to building materials that were delivered for another project, and never used because that project was canceled. If we use these materials can we count them here?

Can crushed concrete, masonry or asphalt being reused onsite qualify as materials reuse?

NC-2009 MRc3:Materials Reuse

Material reuse based on cost or volume

I am working on an international LEED NC 2009 project. They are reusing some things at the site like, making bricks chips out of reused brick for low psi concrete, grinding excess concrete pears to use at substrate or internal pavements. Reusing cement bags for erosion control by filling them with sand. They also sell the scrape steel ties. Is the material reused credit is awarded based on the value of reused material or the volume of the reused material?

It is based on cost. In the case of reused materials that you are not paying for, you can assign them a market cost.
