LEED Credit MR 2

Construction Waste Management (1-2 points)

ÌÒ»¨ÊÓƵ framing products are manufactured from cold-formed steel (CFS). CFS is 100% recyclable and therefore contributes significantly to LEED Credit MR 2. The specific contribution amounts will vary depending on the project and construction decisions.

LEED Credit MR 4

Recycled Content (1-2 points)

ÌÒ»¨ÊÓƵ framing products contain a minimum of 26% post-consumer and 7% pre-consumer recycled steel content for a minimum of 33% recyclable.

LEED Credit MR 5

Regional Materials (1-2 points)

ÌÒ»¨ÊÓƵ framing products contain a large percentage of locally sourced materials and can contribute to LEED Credits MR 5. Materials contributing to these credits must be extracted, harvested, or recovered, and manufactured within a 500 mile radius OR <500 miles of total travel distance using a weighted mileage contribution depending on the means of travel.

LEED Credit ID 1

Innovation in Design (1-2 points)

ÌÒ»¨ÊÓƵ framing can contribute to LEED Credits ID 1 through Path 2 and exemplary performance for Recycled Content and/or Regional Materials.

LEED Credit RP 1

Regional Priority (1-3 points)

ÌÒ»¨ÊÓƵ framing can contribute to LEED Credits RP 1 by addressing geographic-specific environmental priorities.
