Materials and Resourced | Optimized Building Products

The big difference to LEED v4 is that this credit only considers NON-STRUCTURAL building products in the optimization process.

Why have structural building products been excluded from the optimization process?

Structural materials outweigh non-structural materials by far in a building mass balance, and the stewardship of building products is an important aspect beyond carbon emissions. I suggest all building products be included.
