Correct me if I'm wrong, but for material salvaged onsite to count toward MRc3.1, it has to be used in a different application than its original application. I don't think reusing equipment counts here.

That was also my understanding but there may have been some inconsistencies in the application, as I have had some foodservice consultants tell me that they have gotten credit for it. It is possible that they may have mistaken this credit for Regional Sourcing and Extraction, MRc5.1. I could see stainless worktables used in a different way, as well as millwork, i.e. I 've seen stainless worktables repurposed into desks, but geez, how can you repurpose an oven??

YES, re-used commercial kitchen equipment can still be counted towards energy and water savings because it's being used to perform the same function as new equipment. The fact that it's reused doesn't change the fact that it's still using energy and water, which is what matters when calculating energy and water savings. So, from a purely logical standpoint, re-used commercial kitchen equipment can still be counted towards energy and water savings.
