We are finishing up documenation on a building which is on the National Register, went through review, recieved approval from the state, and earned historic tax credits.
I just found this Pilot Credit and am going to start my calcs to see if we meet the 75% reus threshold. Under MR1.1 we are at 99%, however we are not attempting MR1.2 because the interior renovation on the second floor and half of the first floor is pretty extensive. But I have a couple questions.
1. The way the point reads the 75% is a combination of MR1.1 & MR1.2 elements, so you should add up the square footage for all elements listed in each to calculate the reused percentage?
2. In the requirements (p.1) it says "excluding window assemblies" however in additional questions (p.3) it says "In this credit we have included windows as part of the reused envelope to incentivize the restoration of historic/existing window assemblies". Our building has historic windows on the main facade and existing replacement windows on the other three facades. We are maintaining a majority of these windows. We are planning to include all reused windows both historic and replacement for this credit. That is correct?
3. The point does not list Casework in interior non-structural elements? Do I need to include it?
