Additional Considerations
In cases where a modernization project does not
qualify for Credits MR-1.1 - MR-1.3 (Building
Reuse), the project may apply the tonnage of
reused building toward Credit MR-2. The building
materials have, in essence, been diverted from the
landfill. In these cases, the 75 percent waste
reduction criteria may be achieved at limited or no
cost.
Synergistic Credits
Credit MR-2.1 (Construction Waste Management,
50 percent) reviews the cost impacts for achieving
50 percent recycling of construction and
demolition waste.
