Building Relocation

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.

No floor

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?

NC-2009 MRc1.1:Building Reuse—Maintain Existing Walls, Floors and Roof

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

Where to include stairs?

I don't see it mentioned in the Reference Guide for either MRc1.1 or MRc1.2, although I would think it was fall under MRc1.1. Thank you.

Interior structural walls

Hi- In filling out the LEED Online form for MRc1.1, I'm puzzled by the check box confirming that only one side of the interior structural walls has been counted.

My building has several windows that are less than 10 years old. They are in excellent shape.

Would a curtain wall be considered exterior wall or glazing for this credit? Thanks!
