FAQs about MRc2 :

Oops! Our trash was measured by both weight and volume at different times. How do I standardize this?

The waste management facility we are using is providing us with monthly documentation specific to our waste, showing 80% diversion. They also have a published, facility-wide rate of roughly 20%, and they have no published rate for construction waste. Will

How is construction waste accounted for when utilizing off-site construction, like modular construction or pre-fabrication of assemblies?

How does MRc2 work for projects pursuing a campus approach, or any project where waste management will be shared with other construction projects?

Can materials that have been unused and returned to the manufacturer as part of a “take-back” program contribute to the credit?

Should I include hazardous material such as lead-based paint in MRc2 calculations?

Should household-type trash from workers' lunches and office use be included in MRc2 diversion and calculations?

Can sending material to waste-to-energy plants count toward MRc2?

The requirements of this credit say that land-clearing debris does not contribute to the percentage of materials diverted from the landfill. What exactly is considered "land clearing debris"?

NC-2009 MRc2:Construction Waste Management

Mock up Room Waste Management

Hi All, Our site is starting off with a mock up guest room villa as a test bed before we construct the balance of 90 odd guest villas. We intend on starting our waste management plan immediately with the contractor. My question is would a mock up room project require a special submission in the certification process or do we just roll in the waste collection data (or other MR credits for that matter) with the balance of the project? Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks. John

John, it seems to me that the mockup room is in the scope of your LEED project and should be included in your waste management plan and documentation.

It depends. Will your mock up room become part of the permanent building? If yes, then it is included. If not, then I would say that it does not have to contribute because it is not 'permanently installed'. You would also track the other MR/IEQ credits accordingly for the mock up room. If your mock up room is not part of the final building, I would encourage your team to construct and deconstruct the mock up room as close to LEED as you can.

Thanks for the guidance on this. The guest room will a separate building actually that will be a part of a campus application.
