FAQs about MRc2 :

What if we don’t purchase any durable goods during our performance period? Is there anything we can do to capture these points?

What if an electric-powered item we purchased is not eligible for an Energy Star rating? Since it’s currently not possible for this item to receive a rating, do we need to include it in the calculations?

Our organization has a centralized purchasing program that buys products for several buildings, including the one pursuing LEED-EBOM certification. It’s difficult to track which durable goods purchases are used in the project building versus the many ot

Purchasing for our organization takes place in the LEED-EBOM project building, but not all durable goods that are purchased end up being used there. Should we include all of the purchases in MRc2?

EBOM-2009 MRc2:Sustainable Purchasing—Durable Goods

Durable Goods Purchase

Could someone tell me if this would apply as a Durable Good purchase? My project building has a High Ropes climbing Tower - part of their team building/outreach program they offer as a service- located on the project site. LAst year they purchased large ALuminum plates which are affixed to the three tower poles to prevent people from climbing the tower during off-hours. I would like to count the ALuminum plates as a Durable Goods purchase. (1) Do you think that would meet the intent? (2) How do I document % recycled content of Aluminum? Is there a standard default % that I can use from a standards website instead of trying to track down where the machine shop purchased the Aluminum plate?

Janna,Is the item you're describing considered furniture? If not, I don't think it applies to this credit.I am not aware of any default value for aluminum, it’s preferable to provide manufacturer product data sheets specifying the recycled content.
