FAQs about MRc1.1 :

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?

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?

Any idea if the v4 version of this credit (MRc1 Building Life-cycle Impact Reduction) could be substituted here? Or maybe pursued for an innovation point? We are reusing an historic church, with an addition. The project went through extensive work and hearings with the local historic commission, etc. We don't qualify for MRc1 under v3 because the addition is too large compared to the exisiting, and adding the "waste avoided" to the construction waste calcs under MRc2 really isn't even a drop in the bucket.

Erica - By now you've probably seen the article "Use v4 credits on your v2009 project" - http://www.usgbc.org/articles/use-v4-credits-your-v2009-project. Building Life-Cycle Impact Reduction is not listed as a credit that can be substituted into v2009.
