Hello, I have a question about construction costs to calculate the recycled content value of my LEED project. The project scope involves both an office building, which we are LEED certifying, and a parking garage, which will not be certified but will be used to calculate credits like Heat Island-Nonroof. Do the costs associated with the work in the parking garage count toward the total amount of the construction costs, or can those be excluded?

Sara, is the parking garage within the LEED boundary? It sounds like it is, and it sounds like it will be part of the LEED-certified project. I would include it in materials costs.
