Materials & Resources
MR Credit 2: Construction Waste Management 1 to 2 Points
Intent Divert construction, demolition and land-clearing debris from disposal in landfills and incinerators. Redirect recyclable recovered resources back to the manufacturing process. Redirect reusable materials to appropriate sites.
Marvin ships all products wrapped and cornered, rather than fully cartoned, to reduce packaging waste, most of which, including cardboard and plastic wrap, is fully recyclable. Marvin products are also available with a factory-applied prime coat to minimize on-site painting waste.
MR Credit 4: Recycled Content 1 to 2 Points
Intent Increase demand for building products that incorporate recycled content materials, thereby reducing impacts resulting from extraction and processing of virgin materials.
Marvin products incorporate recycled materials extensively. Our glass contains 20% pre-consumer recycled content. Our major aluminum supplier currently uses 30-35% purchased (post-consumer) scrap/recycled aluminum and 40% in-house (pre-consumer) scrap. Our fiberglass contains 10% recycled content. Average window composition is 30-60% glass, 30-60% wood and 0-15% aluminum.
To obtain calculations for recycled content of Marvin products used in your project, contact your Marvin representative.
MR Credit 5: Regional Materials 1 to 2 Points
Intent 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.
Projects within 500 miles of Warroad, Minnesota (windows) or Ripley, Tennessee (doors) may be able to claim glass and Ultrex values under the Regional Materials credit.
If your project meets these geographic requirements, please contact your Marvin representative for further information.
IEQ Credit 6.2: Controllability of Systems -- Thermal Comfort 1 Point
Intent To provide a high level of thermal comfort system control by individual occupants or groups in multi-occupant spaces (e.g., classrooms or conference areas) and promote their productivity, comfort and well-being.
Natural ventilation, using operable Marvin windows and mechanical window systems that meet or exceed requirements of ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2007 paragraph 5.1, Natural Ventilation, can be integrated into HVAC system planning.
