How do you count products that are not rated by ENERGY STAR, like microwave ovens? Can you exempt them entirely from the total cost of durable goods?

Construction Waste Theft!

NC-2009 MRc2:Construction Waste Management
posted by  Jeffrey Westall  on 

We are having a serious issue with all of our metal scrap being stollen from the jobsite dumpster. This has impacted our percentage for recycling dramatically. We are currently at only 28%.

We are removing a lot of trees on our construction site, if we turn it into mulch does this qualify toward our CWM credit? or would it be material reuse? thanks for your help!

Automobile Service Garage

NC-2009 IEQc6.2:Controllability of Systems—Thermal Comfort

In an automobile service garage with 25 "stations" (there are not 25 employees, but worst case, I am assuming LEED will require each lift to be considered a "workstation").
