No roof deck?

On our project, there is no deck, just purlins, insulation and metal roof panels. We'll be reusing the roof and the purlins and likely replacing the insulation.

If we decide to move a pavilion from Expo area to a new site, shall we take any "Building reuse" credits? All most of core and shell elements will be reused.

A spec-built, cold-dark shell of a building was built with 4 walls and a roof, but the floor is still dirt.

How are doors calculated?

Are doors excluded in the same way as windows are excluded? If not, would new doors in existing frames count against your percentage reused number for a wall area? Cheers, David
