The cost value for LEED calculation is determined by separating each component by weight as a percentage of the total. For example, if a $100 piece of built-in casework contains 80% (by weight) salvaged wood and 20% (by weight) new marble, $80 worth (80%)

The cost value for LEED calculation is determined by separating each component by weight as a percentage of the total. For example, if a $100 piece of built-in casework contains 80% (by weight) salvaged wood and 20% (by weight) new marble, $80 worth (80%) of casework would contribute to this credit, because that is the only component part that is reused. (See the Documentation Toolkit for a reuse assembly calculator.)

Locating in a building that has no parking provided or no subsidized parking for the tenant is the most straightforward way to comply with this credit, although it’s not practical for all projects. Assess whether it’s feasible. Is the site close to public transportation? Do most people have to drive to work?
