MR 4: Recycled Content

Marfab products for LEED^® projects contain high concentrations of “pre-consumer” and “post consumer” recycled content. In fact, our high percentages of recycled content could contribute to exemplary performance strategies for this credit and can thus contribute to ID (Innovation and Design) credits as well.

Potential Points: 1-2

MR 4: Regional Materials

A high percentage of our material and and components are sourced locally. The steel used to manufacture our products is extracted from Hamilton which is located less than 800 km from our manufacturing site in Concord, Ontario. Since we also factor in the proximity of the project from the final manufacturing site, which must also be within 800 km, projects in the Greater Toronto Area are at a great advantage since the percentage by weight of the total product will yield a high overall percentage be used in calculations for this credit.

Potential Points:  1-2

IEQ: 3.2 Construction  Management Plan Before Occupancy

Marfab products are manufactured and finished offsite. The use of low-emission paints and coatings in the manufacturing process of this product helps with complying to the requirements for IEQ 3.2 Option 2: Air analysis.

Potential Points:  1

ID: Path 2 Innovation in  Design 

The high percentages of recycled content and regional materials could contribute to exemplary performance strategies for MR 4 and MR5 credits and can therefore contribute to exceed these credit requirements.

Potential Points:  1-3

RP 2: Regional Priority

Up to 3 points for Regional Priority Credit 2 may be proposed for this credit that is intended to allow adding on the emphasis to recognize one or more issues that have additional regional environmental importance.

Potential Points:  1-3
