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

Exemplary Peformance

Our project is a major renovation to a historic building, and preliminary calcs are showing that we are reusing 99.1% of existing walls/floors/roof. It looks like there is no possible way to get exemplary performance for this credit under the NC rating system for over 95% reuse. Obviously it is not 100% reuse, but 99% is great compared to 95%... Has anyone had a similar situation?

Janene, this credit isn't eligible for EP, so there is really not a pathway here for you. MRc1.2 is really the other logical place to get credit.
