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

MRc1-Construction Credit - Option 4

Hello to all,

At the project I am working for  we are going to submit a split review. So first we are submitting for the Design Review. We are interesting in earning  in  the MRc1 - option 4 - 3 points. My thought is, that although this is a construction credit, in the design phase we have to investigate the possibility in earning this points in order to achieve the requested certification level. I mean from this credit derive all the material characteristics, which should be specified during the Design phase. What is your opinion?

Thank you

Konstantina, I'm not sure if I understand your question, but I'll try to answer and see if this helps... As a designated Construction credit, you would submit your documentation for this credit and have it reviewed by GBCI in the construction phase. However, this doesn't mean you should defer your design work and collection of documentation to that point. You should be working on it through design and construction. Does that help?

Yes it helped a lot! Thank you Tristan.
