FAQs about MRc1 :

For Whole-Building LCA, how do you choose the baseline building?

Is it possible to pursue the Whole-Building Life-Cycle Assessment option late in design?

What is the difference between LCA and LCCA? Our clients often ask for LCA when they really want Life-Cycle Cost Analysis.

My project is a historic building, but there’s no local historic registry. Am I still eligible for Option 1?

How do I account for additional life-cycle impact reductions if my building is designed to last for more than 60 years?

How does the LCA consider operating energy? Isn’t that going to be the biggest source of environmental impacts?

NC-v4 MRc1:Building life-cycle impact reduction

Materials inside the building

Hello,

In my understanding the credits:

Building Life Cycle Impact Reduction

Building Product Disclosure and Optimization - EPD

Building Product Disclosure and Optimization - Sourcing of Row materials

Building Product Disclosure and Optimization - Material Ingredients

concern the materials inside the building and not  outside.

Is this right?

Thank you

No, that is not the case. They generally cover all permanently installed building products.

Tristan thank you for your answer. Let me write all of my consideration.  I meant: For the credit: - Building Life Cycle Impact Reduction - if you choose Option 4 -Whole Life cycle Assessment, you need to input data only for the building and not for the outside surrounding area, isn't it?  - Building Product Disclosure and Optimization - EPD  - Option 1: You can choose 20 different permanently installed materials that are inside the building, isn't? This consideration came from because I was thinking  how  a larger Leed Boundary  would affect these credits. I think that with the assumptions I mentioned above, a larger Leed Boundary wouldn't affect these credits at all. What do you think?
