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?

NC-2009 MRc5:Regional Materials

IS Pre-Consumerpercentage fo mrc4 considered for extraction Point in mrc5?

Hi, first time user here.

1) Product in question is expanded polysterene. Final Fabrication location is 15 kilometers from project site. Styrene production is 170 km away. 10% of the materials is preconsumer sourced. I do not have raw material source distance.  Can I consider the pre consumer 10% as a raw material and consider that 10% as Regionnaly sourced?

2) The styrene location 170km from project site should not be considered in mrc5 as it is not a primary raw material source. Is this correct?

Many thanks

i've seen info I believe from GBCI that extraction location for recycled content portion of a material is where that recycled content was collected. I think I have more info saved on that & can email it to you. Email me at bywater.debra16@gmail.com
