FAQs about MRc3 :

What if we don’t make any facility alterations or additions during our performance period? Is there anything we can do to earn this credit?

What kind of construction or renovation activities count as a facility alteration or addition? We had the building interior painted, does that count?

Which of the purchasing credits covers mechanical, electrical and plumbing purchases? Do I include them in MRc3?

Can I use the LEED-NC default of 25% recycled content for steel in our facility alterations and additions purchases?

EBOM-2009 MRc3:Sustainable Purchasing—Facility Alterations and Additions

Purchases for repairs

We are a convention center and certified under pre-existing building requirements. We have a lot of shows and clients moving in and out. Sometimes major damage occurs and extensive repairs have to be made. Do the materials purchased and used for these major repairs qualify under Facility Alterations and Additions?

Hi Reynaldo, this would depend if you have operational control or judgement on what you purchase. Your questions is confusing in that you mention clients. We are working on a convention center that has many shows that move in and out with exhibits, construction etc that the center staff has no control over. The best that we are working on is providing recommendations, making them aware of our IAQ Construction plan etc. If your staff or your contractors are repairing that it should be included. Hope this helps.
