FAQs about MRc1.1 :

What building elements get included in this calculation and what can be excluded?

Should I base my calculations on plan or elevation?

How do you calculate the existing building structure reuse?

How do exterior elements, such as a covered dock, get counted? Would that be considered a slab or exterior hardscape and not part of the building?

NC-2009 MRc1.1:Building Reuse—Maintain Existing Walls, Floors and Roof

Are Clerestory Windows considered a roof, or a window?

I am working on a Healthcare v2009 project where we are removing and infilling a bunch of clerestory windows. We are attempting to get this credit, but do not know if the clerestory windows would be in the expempted category with other window assemblies, or if it would be classified as a roof assembly and need to be factored into the reuse percentage.

My inclination is that they would be considered windows, and therefore exempted, assuming that they are vertical.
