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?

Option 2 - All or nothing

Our project has been collecting documentation for this credit for some time with Option 1 before Option 2 addendum became available. We still have not completed the percentage required to secure this credit but are nearly there. We have a large cost product coming in outside the 500 mile (800 km) radius (due to ship travel) but if we use Option 2 for this product with the weighted calculation we can fulfill the requirements from Option 2. Can we use Option 2 for this product even though we have previous documentation for Option 1? As we do not want to redue documentation at this point in the game. thanks

Hello, I'd appreciate if you could clarify what the answer was to the question initiated in Jan 2013 ?   To comply with the MRc5 credit, can a project use both - Option 1 for those products that are within a radius of 500 miles of the project site and Option 2 for those products that have weighted travel distances that are equal to or less than 500 miles?
