Hi All,
Our site is starting off with a mock up guest room villa as a test bed before we construct the balance of 90 odd guest villas. We intend on starting our waste management plan immediately with the contractor. My question is would a mock up room project require a special submission in the certification process or do we just roll in the waste collection data (or other MR credits for that matter) with the balance of the project? Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks.
John

John, it seems to me that the mockup room is in the scope of your LEED project and should be included in your waste management plan and documentation.

It depends. Will your mock up room become part of the permanent building? If yes, then it is included. If not, then I would say that it does not have to contribute because it is not 'permanently installed'. You would also track the other MR/IEQ credits accordingly for the mock up room.
If your mock up room is not part of the final building, I would encourage your team to construct and deconstruct the mock up room as close to LEED as you can.

Thanks for the guidance on this. The guest room will a separate building actually that will be a part of a campus application.
