How is the quantity of locally harvested and manufactured materials used on a project calculated?

A: By the amount of leftovers diverted from landfills
B: By the number of board feet
C: By the materials average distance from the project site
D: By the materials proportion of cost

参考答案: D

本题解释:
Notes:


Regional Materials, Recycled Materials, and Certified Wood are calculated based on the percent cost (not weight) of all materials total value.

This differs from Construction Waste Management which is calculated by weight or volume, and Building Reuse which is based on area.

If the building materials for a project cost $500,000 and the quantity of regional materials out of the total materials purchased amounted to $250,000, the project would have 50% regional materials.

Simplified:

$500,000 of total materials purchased

Of that $500,000, $250,000 were purchased within 500 miles

$250,000 regional materials / $500,000 total materials = 50% regional materials
