Our project scope is an historical building restoration and retrofit. Several items such as windows, doors and floor tiles are removed, restored in a workshop near the site project and returned to its original function and position. Can we consider these materials as regionals? Thanks.

Hi Jaume,Take a look at the table above, in the LEEDuser Bird's Eye View for this credit. It specifies that for materials salvaged on site, you can count the site as both the manufacturing and extraction location. And yes, you can count them for both credits.

Thanks for your quick answer. Your coment refers to "both credits", if one credit is MRC5, which is the other? Thanks.

Ah, good question! I was thinking the Materials Reuse credit, but I hadn't focused on that clearly enough. Since you're reusing them in the same location/function, these materials don't qualify for that. (My head has been in LEED v4 lately, which handles all this in a more logical way--sorry!)
