FAQs about MRc5 :

Why can’t I include mechanical, electrical and plumbing components in this credit? What if I consistently include MEP materials in the calculations for all of the MR credits I’m attempting?

We are pursuing IEQc4.5 as an ID credit. Are we thus required to include the cost of furniture in MRc3–7?

What if different parts of a product are manufactured at different locations?

What is the purpose of the newly added Option 2? Can I pursue both options?

How do we account for materials using the new Option 2 equation?

With steel and aluminum products, why do I often get review comments questioning why my extraction distance is the same as my manufacture distance?

CS-2009 MRc5:Regional Materials

product names in the Template

Does anyone know how detailed we should be when filling up the MRc5. Template's table? I mean, should I write "reinforcement steel", "steel beams", "steel railing" etc. or just "steel"? All of that come from one steel mill that is located closer than 500miles from our project.

You should identify the different types of steel products individually, because that will raise the confidence level of the reviewer that you actually know how much steel you're using and where it came from. If you just lump it all together you're inviting further questions to check up on whether there is real data behind that figure.
