LEED BD+C: New Construction

Inquiry

Our project involves the complete renovation of 5 existing residence halls. As part of the work, we plan to remove the existing clay tile roof shingles, repair the substrates, and reinstall the shingles. According to the Reference Manual, the above does not meet the requirements for Credit MR 3. Moreover, this also does not count for Credit MR 1, since roof material is excluded in the calculation. Salvaging and reusing the shingles reduces the new materials required for this project as well as diverts materials from the land fill. However, will not be counted toward any LEED credits. Is there any other option for this to count toward a LEED credit? Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
