FAQs about MRc5 :

Why can’t I include mechanical, electrical and plumbing components in this credit? What if I consistently include MEP materials in the calculations for all of the MR credits I’m attempting?

We are pursuing IEQc4.5 as an ID credit. Are we thus required to include the cost of furniture in MRc3–7?

What if different parts of a product are manufactured at different locations?

What is the purpose of the newly added Option 2? Can I pursue both options?

How do we account for materials using the new Option 2 equation?

With steel and aluminum products, why do I often get review comments questioning why my extraction distance is the same as my manufacture distance?

Schools-2009 MRc5:Regional Materials

Review comment asked for extracted etc.

We recieved a list of materials that the reviewer asked for distance for the extraction. We have one letter concerning one material that involved quite a bit of cost and does bring us over the 20%. Will this be adequate to earn the credit? It would save a lot of work.. Thanks Suzy

Suzanne,With a CI v2.2 I successfully used this technique. Just excluded the ones I didn't document from the calculation (I think I still left them in the list, just put "unknown" in the distance column). So you could try it.
