Dear all,

I am submitting a Two Stage LEED Assessment and I am not sure how to deal with credits such as The Site Waste Management Plan. Should I leave these construction related credits for now and inform the client of the anticipated score providing our advice is followed? Or should we attempt to provide information for these construction credits alongside the Design Stage submission?

Thanks.

Chris, in a split submittal, MRc2 is part of the construction-phase submittal, and would be expected to be deferred till then. (This phase information is in the Doc Toolkit above, by the way.)

FAQs about MRc2:

How is construction waste accounted for when utilizing off-site construction, like modular construction or pre-fabrication of assemblies?

How does MRc2 work for projects pursuing a campus approach, or any project where waste management will be shared with other construction projects?

Can materials that have been unused and returned to the manufacturer as part of a “take-back” program contribute to the credit?

Should I include hazardous material such as lead-based paint in MRc2 calculations?

Should household-type trash from workers' lunches and office use be included in MRc2 diversion and calculations?

Can sending material to waste-to-energy plants count toward MRc2?

The requirements of this credit say that land-clearing debris does not contribute to the percentage of materials diverted from the landfill. What exactly is considered "land clearing debris"?

Oops! Our trash was measured by both weight and volume at different times. How do I standardize this?

The waste management facility we are using is providing us with monthly documentation specific to our waste, showing 80% diversion. They also have a published, facility-wide rate of roughly 20%, and they have no published rate for construction waste. Will
