A project team would like to include a building’s ceiling tiles in calculations for the Regional Materials credit. The ceiling tiles were manufactured 100 miles from the project site. 50% of the material was harvested locally, but the other 50% was harvested overseas. Can this material contribute towards the Regional Materials credit?
A: No, because not all materials were harvested within 500 miles
B: No, because the ceiling tiles contain material from overseas
C: Yes, 100% of the material (by weight) will contribute
D: Yes, 50% of the material (by weight) will contribute

参考答案: D

本题解释:
Notes:
See the ‘Requirements’ section of MRc 5, Regional Materials in any LEED Reference Guide.

If only a fraction of a product or material is extracted, harvested, or recovered and manufactured locally, then only that percentage (by weight) must contribute to the regional value.
