Build Reuse - General

Root

Recognition

Green Building Certifications

The LEEDv4.1 BD+C New Construction credit awards up to 5 points for adaptive reuse projects, and up to 4 points for new construction projects that incorporate reclaimed materials in the building structure and enclosure. In reality, this has not been enough to push the majority of LEED projects to reuse. However, networks such as All for Reuse have advocating that the upcoming version of the standard LEEDv5 place a greater emphasis on reuse.
