Hi.
In option 3 of this credit “Building and Material Reuse” we must reuse or salvage building materials from off site or on site as a percentage of the surface area. Does the reuse of building aggregates (from demolished walls, floors, etc) as landfill on the same project parking lot contributes towards the credit?
Thanks

Good question, Isabel. The reference guide seems to assume you will use salvaged materials within the surface of the structure. I don't see anything specifically stating your scenario is not allowed, but I think this would be more in the spirit of Building Product Dislcosure & Optimization - Sourcing of Raw Materials, Option 2.
