FAQs about MRc1:

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?

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

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

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