75% steel/concrete threshold

Healthcare-v2009 MRc3:Sustainably sourced materials and products
posted by  Mark Meaders  on 

I am not clear on how this threshold is applied. Is this a cap, meaning, if steel/ concrete is over the 75% then any amount over won't count towards MRc3?

posted by  Vanessa W.  on 

Hi, We already have a Smoke & Vape-Free Environment Policy in place since last year which prohibits smoking in and on the grounds, way beyond the 25ft requirement for LEED.

Material Cost Aggregate, Base, Topsoil (Div. 32 1000, 32 3000)

NC-2009 MRc5:Regional Materials
posted by  Matthew Martin  on 

A Contradiction? (my project is under LEED NC 2009) The LEED 2009 ref. guide is unclear with the inclusions for Div. 31, and 32.

Are Base/Subbase Aggregate Materials part of Materials Cost?

posted by  Matthew Martin  on 

I have not seen this question about base/subbase addressed here yet. I have read the comment fill materials are part of 31 2000 Div.

posted by  Gwen Corrie  on 

We have a registered LEED ND v2009 project. Our SSLc4 does not comply (we are shy of the needed short-term bike racks and showers).

My sustainability consulting firm has been conducting the con docs (drawing) reviews for our clients for LEED compliance, but the method we have been using is not the most streamlined.

cradle to gate scope?

NC-v4 MRc2:Building product disclosure and optimization - environmental product declarations
posted by  Erin Holdenried  on 

Does the compliance with the ISO 14025 standard automatically include cradle to gate scope? Or is the scope stated separately in the product EPD?
