MR3.1: Materials Reuse
Intent: Implement the use of used materials into the design to reduce the demand for new materials.
In order to achieve this credit, you are required to use salvaged, refurbished or reused materials for 5% of the total cost of all materials for the job.
Approach: Incorporate the use of used materials into the design.
The calculations involve tracking the used material costs and the overall project material costs. There is an exemplary performance point available for projects that increase the requirement to 15%. This is part of the construction submittal.
