FAQs about MRc5 :

Why can’t I include mechanical, electrical and plumbing components in this credit? What if I consistently include MEP materials in the calculations for all of the MR credits I’m attempting?

We are pursuing IEQc4.5 as an ID credit. Are we thus required to include the cost of furniture in MRc3–7?

What if different parts of a product are manufactured at different locations?

What is the purpose of the newly added Option 2? Can I pursue both options?

How do we account for materials using the new Option 2 equation?

With steel and aluminum products, why do I often get review comments questioning why my extraction distance is the same as my manufacture distance?

Schools-2009 MRc5:Regional Materials

Regional Materials

When calculating distance between the manufacturing plant & the project site, is the distance I should use, actual travel distance by land, or by "how the crow flies"? I have a product that was manufactured within the 500 mi radius, but the "actual travel distance" is greater than 500. Should I use the "crow" distance or the actual distance by land??

HI Carol, for simplicity's sake, it's "as the crow flies."
