As part of our project the existing asphalt parking lot will be milled and the material will be reused in the new asphalt lot. The asphalt plant happens to be just across the highway. Will the material be eligable for both MRc3 and MRc2? Thanks. MRc3 ...

Michael DeVuono Regional Stormwater Leader Arcadis North America LEEDuser Expert 187 thumbs up July 19, 2013- 7:07 am This seems reasonable to me, provided it is not the same time period missing every year. If it is just random months, I think you will be able to zero in on a value even without going past 30 years, but if you have the additional data, you may as well use it.

Susan Walter HDR LEEDuser Expert 1296 thumbs up July 25, 2013- 8:32 am We use the first day that the owner physically occupied and used the space. It isn't unusual for our projects require a lot of time to install equipment after the C of O is issued.

Certainly the creation of standards that could be associated with medical supplies is a very noble action, however, as Susan Walter points out in her comments below, what is the dividing line between process and non-process. Originally USGBC were looking for 'consumables' as we would think of them in a commercial office environment...paper, cardboard, pens, pencils etc. Once we move...

We have a campus with 9 buildings elegible to seek LEED but only some of them will seek the certification (we are still deciding which ones). I have 2 questions: 1) If not all buildings from this property (same owner, same construction contract, it's a set of residential buildings) are seeking LEED, can we still go ahead and seek some credits via master site?

Michelle Rosenberger Partner ArchEcology LEEDuser Premium Member 522 thumbs up August 11, 2013- 11:26 am Hi Susan, My understanding is no. The best place to check is on the Energy Star.gov website under Business and Commercial products. If you click on the category and then on the small hyperlink "For Partners" you get the definition document.
