[Add new paragraph just before the Calculations section]"Projects with a precut framing package (e.g. kit homes) are awarded MR 1.2 and MR 1.3 automatically. Projects with non-wood frames can earn MR 1.2 and MR 1.3 if the requirements are met for the relevant structural material. For gut-rehab projects, if 90% of the interior and exterior framing for the final LEED home (i.e., not the original home) is salvaged or maintained, both MR 1.2 and MR 1.3 should be awarded automatically."
