FAQs about MRc2 :

How is construction waste accounted for when utilizing off-site construction, like modular construction or pre-fabrication of assemblies?

How does MRc2 work for projects pursuing a campus approach, or any project where waste management will be shared with other construction projects?

Can materials that have been unused and returned to the manufacturer as part of a “take-back” program contribute to the credit?

Should I include hazardous material such as lead-based paint in MRc2 calculations?

Should household-type trash from workers' lunches and office use be included in MRc2 diversion and calculations?

Can sending material to waste-to-energy plants count toward MRc2?

The requirements of this credit say that land-clearing debris does not contribute to the percentage of materials diverted from the landfill. What exactly is considered "land clearing debris"?

Oops! Our trash was measured by both weight and volume at different times. How do I standardize this?

The waste management facility we are using is providing us with monthly documentation specific to our waste, showing 80% diversion. They also have a published, facility-wide rate of roughly 20%, and they have no published rate for construction waste. Will

NC-2009 MRc2:Construction Waste Management

WDF - Power generation other than electricity?

According to LEED interpretation #10061- Wood Derived Fuel (WDF) meets the intent of credit MRc2. We would like clarification on the definition of “fuel” for the purposes of LEED. Do the following WDF applications meet the credit intent or is it exclusively wood used as fuel to generate electricity? - Wood used in kilns to fire clay bricks - Wood used in boilers to generate hot water and/or steam for industrial processes Thx!

Guido - I don't have any experience with wood derived fuel. I would encourage you to also look at LI ID #1685 - http://www.usgbc.org/leed-interpretations?keys=1685 - for some additional information. This ruling can be applied to LEED v2009 projects even though it was written for LEED-NC v2.0. I think it would be important to consider if the wood fuel is actually a value-added product or part of a value-added process. If anyone has experience with WDF and can answer Guido’s exact question, please jump in.

Hi Guido, I have the same situation happening in a project I'm supervising. Does any of the options that you gave was approved?
