This credit was marked as Not Pursuing so Reporting Fields will not be displayed.
Demolition specifications related to building construction and demolition state, "To the greatest extent possible and in compliance with state or federal rules and laws, items that can be reused, recycled or resold shall be separated from the waste stream and diverted to be reused, recycled or resold."
When possible, items are removed prior to demolition and sent to the IUPUI Surplus Store for resale and reuse. Other materials are reused in new buildings. As all new construction and major renovation is LEED certified, procedures are in place for the separation and recycling or reuse of non-hazardous materials, however weights for materials recovered and materials landfilled or incinerated are currently not recorded. Therefore, total diversion and landfilled weight data over the course of the year, as asked for by this credit, is not available.
