FAQs about MRc2 :

Can I use the LEED-NC default of 25% recycled content for steel in our furniture purchases?

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?

How can EPEAT products help me achieve my project’s sustainability goals?

What exactly qualifies as an item or material salvaged onsite?

We have multiple tenants in our building, some of which are not responsive to requests for purchasing records. Can we exclude their purchases?

Just to confirm my understanding - Is it correct that an exemplary performance point can be met by meeting the 80% threshold for EITHER electric-powered equipment (MRc2.1) OR furniture (MRc2.2)? Two EP points are not available here, right?

Correct, only one additional point can be earned for exemplary performance and you can earn it for meeting the threshold for either MRc2.1 or MRc2.2.
