FAQs about MRc2 :

How is construction waste accounted for when utilizing off-site construction, like modular construction or pre-fabrication of assemblies?

How does MRc2 work for projects pursuing a campus approach, or any project where waste management will be shared with other construction projects?

Can materials that have been unused and returned to the manufacturer as part of a “take-back” program contribute to the credit?

Should I include hazardous material such as lead-based paint in MRc2 calculations?

Should household-type trash from workers' lunches and office use be included in MRc2 diversion and calculations?

Can sending material to waste-to-energy plants count toward MRc2?

The requirements of this credit say that land-clearing debris does not contribute to the percentage of materials diverted from the landfill. What exactly is considered "land clearing debris"?

Oops! Our trash was measured by both weight and volume at different times. How do I standardize this?

The waste management facility we are using is providing us with monthly documentation specific to our waste, showing 80% diversion. They also have a published, facility-wide rate of roughly 20%, and they have no published rate for construction waste. Will

NC-2009 MRc2:Construction Waste Management

Column Veneer preserved but covered

No- this is a Building Reuse strategy. These materials would apply to MRc1.2- Building Reuse- Maintain Interior Nonstructural Elements.

Madhura - If you cannot meet the thresholds for MRc1, you can apply the reused building portions toward achievement of MRc2. Since you are a LEEDuser Guest, I am not sure if you can see the Related Credits sidebar above that outlines this. See Related Credits for MRc1.2 and MRc2 in the LEED Reference Guide. You may not need to do the weight or volume calculations to account for this diversion to meet your goal on MRc2 but it's worth knowing about.
