Inquiry

Within a LEED-ND Pilot registered neighborhood project, two buildings come into question: a LEED NCv2.2 registered hotel and a LEED CS registered mixed-use office building. The site is currently diverting over 50% of construction waste for the entire neighborhood and we feel that it would be wasteful to use additional independent dumpsters to individually collect and document 50% diversion of construction waste for these two specific buildings. In order to reduce the environmental effects of having multiple dumpsters and associated truck traffic for documenting diverted waste for each building, we propose using a combined recycling program and consolidated documentation for the entire site. Can these projects be eligible for the MRc2.1 point if the consolidated neighborhood debris diverted is above 50%? The project is currently diverting between 65-70% for the entire neighborhood and we anticipate this to continue for these two buildings as well.
