A project team is renovating an office building. The project is trying to divert as much construction waste as possible from landfills. The following is a construction waste management summary. How many points would the project earn for MR Credit Construction and Demolition Waste Management?


Waste Weight
----------------------------------------------
Excavated soil 50 tons
Crushed concrete reused on site 25 tons
Steel sent to a recycling center 1 ton
Wood sent to a waste-to-energy facility 15 tons
Mixed waste sent to a landfill 25 tons
A: 1
C: 3
D: 2

参考答案: A

本题解释:
选择A，本题解释
The items that qualify toward the credit are are:
-Crushed concrete
-Steel sent to the recycling center
-Wood sent to a waste-to-energy facility
Mixed waste sent to the landfill does not count as diverted waste but is included in the calculation of the total amount of waste.
Soil and hazardous materials are not included in the calculations.
25 + 1 + 15 + 25 = 66 tons of total waste
25 + 1 + 15 = 41 tons of waste diverted
41 / 66 = 62.1%
This is enough to earn one point for the credit because the diversion included 3 material streams and met the 50% minimum diversion.
