FAQs about MRc4 :

If I have one cut sheet that meets the LEED 2009 requirement to upload 20% of cut sheets by cost, for this credit, is that acceptable?

I have recycled content information for a product, but it doesn’t specify whether it is pre-consumer or post-consumer. What should I do?

The recycled content percentage on the product data sheet is given as a range. What should I do?

The manufacturer can't give me product-specific recycled content data, but they say that they fall within the national industry average. Can I use that?

Is the default average recycled content value of 25% for steel still allowed?

Can site materials, such as soil, be included in the MR credit calculations?

Are there recycled content claims that I should be wary of?

Can I count FSC-certified MDF toward both MRc4 and MRc7?

CI-2009 MRc4:Recycled Content

Material Values

On the IDC Materials Calculator download from LEED-online states in footnote 2 that material value must "include all expenses to deliver the material to the project site, including taxes and delivery costs..." I assume that means any freight and/or delivery we are charged on furniture and materials as well as State Sales tax. Please confirm this is accurate. Thanks!

Hi Holly, That language is right out of the LEED ID&C Reference Guide (page 245 at the bottom, in my 2009 edition). So I don't see any reason to question it. Yes, it would include freight and state sales tax.
