FAQs about MRc5 :

What is the purpose of the newly added Option 2? Can I pursue both options?

How do we account for materials using the new Option 2 equation?

With steel and aluminum products, why do I often get review comments questioning why my extraction distance is the same as my manufacture distance?

Why can’t I include mechanical, electrical and plumbing components in this credit? What if I consistently include MEP materials in the calculations for all of the MR credits I’m attempting?

We are pursuing IEQc4.5 as an ID credit. Are we thus required to include the cost of furniture in MRc3–7?

What if different parts of a product are manufactured at different locations?

Hello to All!

I'm trying to figure the following and see if I am understanding Option 2 of MRc5

Say I have an extraction point that is 500 miles from manufacturing and they ship by rail to manufacturing does this mean the distance becomes 166 miles and then if the manufacturing point is say 300 miles from the project does this qualify as being a 100% regional material?  166+300=466 miles??

Hello Richard, As per my understanding, we need to calculate the distance from manufacturing & extraction location to site separately and both these distances has to be within 500 miles for compliance.
