FAQs about MRc3 :

The credit language says “Products meeting recycled content criteria are valued at 100% of their cost for the purposes of credit achievement calculation.” How much recycled content has to be in a product for 100% of its cost to count toward credit achieve

Is there any way around the requirement that no more than 30% of the materials used to meet Option 2 be structure and enclosure items?

If Sustainable Agricultural Network (SAN) certification isn’t required for agricultural products to comply with Option 2, does the manufacturer still have to provide documentation of third-party verification?

For the manufacturer “take-back” pathway under Option 2, does the extended producer responsibility program have to be run by the manufacturer?

Are there other ways the products can contribute to Option 1?

Can Corporate Sustainability Reports from the manufacturers of the products I’ve selected help me achieve the Option 1 point for “raw material source and extraction reporting?”

LEED NC - v4 MRc3 Wood products

The language of NC v4 does not specifically call out new wood. "Wood products must be certified by the Forest Stewardship Council or USGBC-approved equivalent. Products meeting wood products criteria are valued at 100% of their cost for the purposes of credit achievement calculation." Does this mean that FSC Recycled wood may apply to this portion of the credit in v4? Or should FSC Recycled wood be handled the same as it is with v3 and should be counted toward recycled content and not certified wood?

Hi Sandra, According to the LEED v4 Reference Guide, products identified as FSC Recycled Credit contribute 100% postconsumer recycled content and products identified as FSC Recycled [NN] % contribute the percentage postconsumer recycled content indicated [NN]. Karin
