FAQs about MRc4 :

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?

Can I count FSC-certified MDF toward both MRc4 and MRc7?

If I have one cut sheet that meets the LEED 2009 requirement to upload 20% of cut sheets by cost, for this credit, is that acceptable?

I have recycled content information for a product, but it doesn’t specify whether it is pre-consumer or post-consumer. What should I do?

The recycled content percentage on the product data sheet is given as a range. What should I do?

The manufacturer can't give me product-specific recycled content data, but they say that they fall within the national industry average. Can I use that?

NC-2009 MRc4:Recycled Content

Paving as part of Construction Costs

The new LEED language has clarified that 32.10.00 Paving should be included in the construction costs. However, the only paving that will occur on my project's contract will be in-street paving per regulations by the City and in order to install the sewer and drainage system. This paving is located on the City's land, not the projects - would this still be included? Or would this be considered off-the-project?

Hi Mariah,This is definitely NOT an official response, but I'd say that this is one of those gray areas in LEED that you can use to your advantage, because you can make a good argument that it should go either way. if it helps you out to include it, you can (does it have recycled content?). If it doesn't help you, leave it out.If you want more certainty than this, I guess you should submit a CIR, and let us know what they say!
