NC-2009 MRc4: Recycled Content
Do I need to enter every single material used into the spreadsheet, or can I stop once I've reached the 10% or 20% threshold? Please tell me it's the latter!

The recycled content percentage on the product data sheet is given as a range. What should I do?
Is the default average recycled content value of 25% for steel still allowed?
Can site materials, such as soil, be included in the MR credit calculations?
Are there recycled content claims that I should be wary of?

I think if you are using the default budget method, you can enter the materials that reach your threshold. If you are using the actual budget method, you have to enter in everything. Also keep in mind that materials do cross reference across other material and IEQ credits for information consistency.
