Under Step 1, add the following at the end of the first paragraph: "Multifamily buildings are allowed to exclude resident purchasing from tracking completely. If a multifamily building is mixed use, the nonresidential portions of the building must still include a minimum of 90% of the area in credit calculations."
Under Further Explanation, add new section: Rating System Variations
Multifamily
Though multifamily projects can exclude resident purchasing from tracking, there are many ways building managers and landlords can incentivize and promote environmentally preferable purchasing by residents. For example create a resident resource that lists locations of nearby second-hand or reuse stores where residents could purchase items and also donate items no longer needed. Set up a listserv or create a bulletin board so that residents can advertise items they no longer need.
