Liz. I’d have to guess the question is only about what credits an old door qualifies for, depending on other variables, and not whether it can apply to all at once.

Liz,

I was confused by this at first too because I was thinking of MR1.3. This is the one where the use of the material must remain constant before/after construction. MR 2 and 3 seem like good synergy to me.

I meant to say I thought you could NOT use credits from MR 3.1 and also attain MR 2.1
I am confused!

can someone help me with this question?

The renovation of an apartment building will use the wood from the old doors for new cabinets. The project will not qualify for MR Credit 1 Building Reuse. What credits can the old doors contribute toward?
A MR Credit 5.1 Regional Materials
B MR Credit 6 Rapidly Renewable Materials
C MR Credit 2.1 Construction Waste Management
D MR Credit 4.1 Recycled Content
E MR Credit 3.1 Materials Reuse

the answer is e,c,a

but I thought you could use materials in MR 3.1 and if you are using them in MR 2.1

can someone help – please!!!

Pat, I think this line is incorrect: FINISH items are not (door becomes a table)

It should say that FINISH items ARE included (door becomes a table)
