Don’t confuse “recycled content material” with “material reuse”; the two terms have very different meanings:

Recycled Content is material containing recycled content as a result of the industrial process of making the product—for example; recycled-content carpet may be made of post consumer recycled plastic bottles. 

Material Reuse is the use or repurposing of material from a previous place or role—for example, buying antique wood doors salvaged from an old church.

ASHRAE’s exterior lighting density table (table 9.4.5) lists exterior spaces under two categories. Tradable spaces are those where the average LPD of all those spaces are within the total LPD limits. For example, in parking lots and drives, lighting

ASHRAE’s exterior lighting density table (table 9.4.5) lists exterior spaces under two categories. Tradable spaces are those where the average LPD of all those spaces are within the total LPD limits. For example, in parking lots and drives, lighting needs to be a maximum of 0.15 Watts/ ft2. The project may decide to increase driveway lighting to 0.2 W/sf as long as the parking lots compensate with a LPD of 0.1 W/ft2 so that the average of the two is 0.15 W/ft2. For non-tradable surfaces, such as bank ATMs, each space must individually comply with the ASHRAE requirements.
