What is MR 5.2?

MR 5.2i stands for Materials and Resources 5.2. This is a credit in the LEED rating system. It was designed to further increase demand for building materials and products that are extracted and manufactured within the region, thereby supporting the use of indigenous resources and reducing the environmental impacts resulting from transportation.

To achieve this credit, 20% of the materials in the project must come from a certain radius to the job site. As the distance changes between US and Canadian rating systems, ask a Panel Source expert if our products will qualify for your job.
