FAQs about MRc3 :

What if we don’t make any facility alterations or additions during our performance period? Is there anything we can do to earn this credit?

What kind of construction or renovation activities count as a facility alteration or addition? We had the building interior painted, does that count?

Which of the purchasing credits covers mechanical, electrical and plumbing purchases? Do I include them in MRc3?

Can I use the LEED-NC default of 25% recycled content for steel in our facility alterations and additions purchases?

EBOM-2009 MRc3:Sustainable Purchasing—Facility Alterations and Additions

purchasing of carpets

I need your advice regarding purchasing sustainable carpet that meets LEED requirement. If he purchasing contract was signed before the performance period, but it is stated in the contract that the actual fitting for the carpet is scheduled to be during the performance period, as well as the payment for this carpet, can this carpet purchase considered in the performance perioed? or should the signing of the contract take place during the performance period?

well, my first question would be: how long is your performance period? Remember, as long as the performance periods for all attempted credits end within a shared 30-day window, you can expand the performance period for any single credit to 24 months. That being said, you can use any of the milestone dates you mention above for your MRc3 documentation, as long as you are consistent. So, if you use the date that the contract was signed, you must also include any other qualifying purchases for which contracts were signed during the same time period. If you use the date that you paid for the carpet, you should avoid trying to take credit for qualifying purchases for which you have a signed contract, but have not yet made payment. Make sense?
