FAQs about MRc4 :

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?”

I'm reviewing shop drawings for LEED info.  The contractor provides a sample of the BPDO calculator filled out with data that is suppose to reflect information from the documents attached to the shop drawing.  On the calculator it says they provided a Manufacturer Declared CSR, but I don't see it anywhere in the submittal, I see a letter from the manufacturer location of manufacturing site and recycled content.  But nothing else, the manufacter rep believes that letter should act as a manufacturer provided CSR.  I know a portion of what is desired in a CSR is extraction location, but I see nothing else in that letter.

Can anyone show me where to get a sample of a CSR so I know what to compare the letter to?

Edgar, unfortunately the v4 version of Option 1 is not achievable. No CSR has ever met the requirements, and I'm shocked that any manufacturer is claiming otherwise in the year 2023. To my knowledge, the only documentation that GBCI has ever accepted for Option 1 is certification to ANSI/NSF 373 Sustainable Production of Natural Dimension Stone. That's not enough and has never been enough to earn the point. My suggestion is to substitute the v4.1 version of this credit, which gives you the opportunity to achieve both options and earn both points.
