FAQs about MRc5 :

Why can’t I include mechanical, electrical and plumbing components in this credit? What if I consistently include MEP materials in the calculations for all of the MR credits I’m attempting?

We are pursuing IEQc4.5 as an ID credit. Are we thus required to include the cost of furniture in MRc3–7?

What if different parts of a product are manufactured at different locations?

What is the purpose of the newly added Option 2? Can I pursue both options?

How do we account for materials using the new Option 2 equation?

With steel and aluminum products, why do I often get review comments questioning why my extraction distance is the same as my manufacture distance?

Hello, I am working a LEED NC 2009 & Retail CI historic building MRc5. Apparently DIVISION 12 – FURNISHINGS include: ART, Murals and more specifically Ceramic Tile Murals etc....The my question is are all the items listed in "MasterFormat™ 2004 Edition – Numbers & Titles" DIVISION 12 section to be included in the MRc5 calculation? Would preserved historic protected decorative wall elements of the facade and internal walls (fresques) be included in this calculation as reused or salvaged on site elements? If so what $ value would be given to these elements? Thank-you, Ian

Ian – Artwork cannot be included in Credit Calculations for MRc3 through MRc7. A LEED-NC Addendum dated May 9, 2011, excludes artwork from MR calculations. Reference Guide Correction #100000953 added a sentence to Page 337 of LEED-BD+C, 1st Edition. The passage now reads, “A project team may include materials costs from Construction Specification Institute MasterFormat™ Division 12—Furniture and Furnishings as long as this is done consistently across all MR credits. EXCLUDE ARTWORK, INTERIOR PLANTS, AND MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS.” However, the items you refer to may fall under MRc1.2.

On the other hand, new materials used to preserve or restore existing elements should be included in Credit Calculations for MRc3 through MRc7. These may include products for restoration & preservation of the following materials: Division 4 – Masonry & Stone Division 5 – Decorative Metals Division 6 – Carpentry & Woodwork Division 7 – Roofing & Sheet Metal Division 8 – Windows & Doors Division 9 – Plaster, Tile, Flooring, Paint, & Finishes
