Setting the scene
USGBC Announces Extension of LEED 2009 • Original date for LEED 2009 registration to close was June 27, 2015 • Now extended to October 2016 Gives LEED users more time to prepare for LEED v4 • New Materials and Resources (MR) Credits • No longer about single attributes • Focus on transparency and reporting 500 LEED v4 registered projects to date

Credit Intent Building product disclosure and optimization – sourcing of raw materials
Encourage the use of responsibly sourced and extracted materials through reporting and demonstration of responsible extraction practices.
Encourage reduced use of raw materials by selecting reused and recycled materials.

Step-by-Step Guidance Option 1. Raw Material Source and Extraction Reporting (1 point)
09.04.2015
Option 2. Leadership Extraction Practices (1 point)
11
Option 1. Raw Material Source and Extraction Reporting Specify and select compliant products Specify products from manufacturers that can provide reports of raw materials from their suppliers.
09.04.2015
12
Option 1. Raw Material Source and Extraction Reporting To meet the credit requirements, reports must include information on the following: Raw material supplier extraction locations Commitment to long-term ecologically responsible land use Commitment to reducing environmental harms from extraction and manufacturing processes
Commitment to meeting voluntary standards or programs that address responsible sourcing
09.04.2015
13
Option 1. Documentation Corporate sustainability reports • Third-party verified reports (also called externally assured reports) are counted at full value for credit compliance • Self-declared reports are counted at half value.

Option 2. Leadership Extraction Practices For 25% of permanently installed products, by cost, use products that meet at least one of the following responsible extraction criteria: Criterion

Extended producer responsibility

Bio-based materials • Wood: FSC-certified • Non-wood: meets Sustainable Agriculture Standard
1.0 1.0
Reused materials (salvaged, refurbished)

Location Valuation Factor Location Valuation Factor [formerly MR Credit Regional Materials] •
Double value for materials sourced within 100 miles of the project site
•
Structural and enclosure materials – not more than 30% of the value of compliant building products
Changes from LEED 2009 •
The 500-mile (805-km) radius requirement was decreased to 100 miles (160 km)
•
All extraction, manufacture, and purchase (including distribution) of the product and its materials must occur within that radius
