Hi everyone,
I would like to clarify the difference between reuse and salvage materials and emphasize that this is different from recycled materials for Option 2, Path 4. Additionally, there is no specific percentage or quantity requirement for their use. This means, for example, that using just one reused door can satisfy the requirements, although this might not seem adequate.
Here are the details for your reference:

Could someone provide more insights on this?

On a past project GBCI confirmed that there is not a minimum threshold for reuse/salvaged materials. So technically, one structural beam being reused would satisify the requirement.
