Can some one clarify if I'm understanding the implementation of this credit correctly?
If material is salvaged onsite it must be used in a purpose other than for which it was intended (except for door or cabinet hardware). But if material is salvaged from off site (either the occupant's previous facility or purchased salvaged) it can be used for its original purpose.
I'm a little unclear as to where the line is for MRc1.2, MRc2, or MRc3. For example, If someone wants to reuse cabinets from on onsite demo would that be an item that would fall under Materials Reuse or would that be Construction Waste Management?

Are the cabinets fixed (like case work) or are they movable like furniture?
If they are 'fixed' and not being moved you can count them for MRc1.2.
If they are 'fixed', but being moved I think you can count them here.
If they are movable cabinets I believe you would consider them furniture and their inclusion for this credit would be up to you but would require it to be included in all of the MR credits.
If the materials are leaving your site, and either being recycled, going to be salvaged for a different project or donated they count for MRc2.
