FAQs about MRc1.1 :

What building elements get included in this calculation and what can be excluded?

Should I base my calculations on plan or elevation?

How do you calculate the existing building structure reuse?

How do exterior elements, such as a covered dock, get counted? Would that be considered a slab or exterior hardscape and not part of the building?

Reuse roof joists But not roof deck

I am working on a renovation project of a courthouse. We will be reusing the roof joists but will remove all the existing roof deck. I want to know if only the roof joists will contribute to this credit? And when it comes to the calculation of the roof joists, can I just use the flat surface area of the roof on a plan view?

Since the credit specifies roof deck, I'd say it's a stretch to count the joists, but you could try including them in plan view and seeing if that makes a difference in your credit achievement.
