Earn points according to Tables 3 and 4. Calculate the percentage reused per material type according to Equation 1.
Table 3. Points for salvaging materials
| Salvage strategies and percentages | Points |
|---|---|
| Incorporate off-site reused materials for at least 25% of 1 targeted material type OR Incorporate off-site reused materials for at least 25% of 2 other material types OR Incorporate an equivalent weighted average of targeted and other material reuse types | 1 point |
Incorporate off-site reused materials for at least 50% of 1 targeted material type OR Incorporate off-site reused materials for at least 25% of 2 targeted material types OR Incorporate off-site reused materials for at least 25% of 4 other material types OR Incorporate an equivalent weighted average of targeted and other material reuse types | 2 points |
Incorporate off-site reused materials for at least 75% of 1 targeted material type OR Incorporate off-site reused materials for at least 50% of 2 targeted material types Or Incorporate an equivalent weighted average of targeted and other material reuse types | 3 points |
