MR Credit 6: Rapidly Renewable Materials



Rapidly renewable materials and products are made from plants that are typically harvested within a ten-year cycle or shorter.

To obtain this point, 2.5% of the total value of all building materials and products used in the project based on cost must be rapidly renewable materials.

For the purpose of this test, you need to remember which materials are rapidly renewable. Typical examples of rapidly renewable material includes bamboo, wool, cotton insulation, agrifiber, linoleum, wheatboard, strawboard and cork.

What about Lyptus? Is that considered a rapidly renewable resource by LEED?

Yes Lyptus can regenerate itself in less than 10 years so it can contribute to LEED points.

is coconut shells considered a rapidly renewable resource?
i would like to get a comprehensive list of all Rapidly Renewable Materials - any suggestions as to where i can find this?

Eric said...

I thought I heard once that birch and poplar were able to qualify - and these are much more common materials than any of the others. Is this out of the question? Who determines what the regeneration cycle is?

What I think about those materials is that some important companies are using them to build buildings, at least that's what I've heard.
