Can PVC based building materials help a project to qualify for LEED points?
if it is in CSI MasterFormat division 3-10, 31 or 32 and it's reused (MRc3), recycled (MRc4) or regionally extracted and manufactured(MRc5) then yes. If not then no. This answer is for LEEDv3. Mechanical, electrical and plumbing components are excluded from the calculations though. What type of product are you evaluating? a white PVC roof could contribute to SS7.2- Heat Island Effect-Roof.
