20% Extracted, Processed & Manufacturer Regionally Intent:

1. Increase demand for building materials and products that are extracted and manufactured within the region. This supports indigenous resources and reduced environmental impacts from transportation.

Implementation:

1. Use materials that have been extracted, harvested, recovered or manufactured within 500 miles of the site
2. Minimum 20% (based on cost) of total materials value. (Use 45% rule or actual materials cost)
3. Exclude MEP and elevator equipment.
4. If only a fraction of the product/material is extracted, harvested, recovered or manufactured within 500 miles of the site, then only that percentage (based on weight) will contribute to the regional value.

Code:

• none

Submittal Phase:

• construction

Extra credit:

• To achieve extra credit, use 40% (instead of 20%)
